Do Not Worry About Tomorrow

A few weeks ago in my mountain top experience with HeartConnexion Ministries I was reminded of who I am! I am a Passionate, Driven, and Worthy man! I walked boldly off the mountain into the church work opportunity that was before me. I walked with a sense of confidence again. I devoted myself to the cause. I worked as part of a team. We worked together and the What if the Church Serve day project was a great success!

That project is now over, my job has been fulfilled, and many hundreds if not thousands of lives have been affected. So, what do I do now? I am jobless once again. My church gave me a great gift by putting me to work for three weeks with pay and giving me the privilege of a temporary staff position. Now that is over. We decided three weeks ago that we would take it one step at a time, and we did.

I have lived the past three weeks with a renewed sense of passion, I was re-aligned with my call, I was reminded of who I am, I completed the job, AND I have no idea what I will do next. My Thank You for the Opportunity emails were sent. I sent a note  to my pastor and let him know that I was hoping and praying for a chance to continue work with him at Cedar Ridge Christian Church. However the reality is that the funds are simply not available at this time.

I am now preparing to take the next step in faith, not knowing how I will be paid. I only know that my purpose is to be involved in church work. It is my Calling! It is what I am supposed to do! It is what I want to do! So I came into my church office this morning ready to move forward without pay because I am certain that God’s will for me is in ministry.  Then my pastor opens the church mail and there was an envelope with MY NAME on it and a check for $1,500! The check came from a ministry support group because my pastor sent in a request several weeks ago with my story.

I was speech-less, I was amazed, it was a clear answer to prayer, and a clear indication that I am to move forward one step at a time in the ministry opportunities that now lie before me.

So, I am learning to trust God daily. I do not know what next month or next year holds, but this I do know: I am called to do outreach focused church work and God will provide the Way! daily…
