Stick with God's plan

God never ceases to amaze me. First off I'll always wonder why He chose me to do His work. I know that so many other people wonder the same thing (about themselves, not me...come on!). It can be so easy to lose faith in what you feel that God is doing. Sometimes it can become a faint memory and we ask, "God was that what you were meaning or did I just hear it wrong?" He's got a plan for everything and it always works out in the perfect time frame. But our time frame is not always working the same as His and that's where the doubting and frustration comes in. The life of Joseph in Genesis is a huge testimony to this. What I beleive Joseph learned and I know I've learned is that God uses the time in between where you know He wants to take you and where you are in the moment to prepare you for what's next. It's all part of His perfect plan. God's a lot smarter than us and we have to understand this. I've seen this in our church too. I've seen the journey that He's taken us on and I'm just so excited to be where we are now! I want to encourage every one else to catch that excitement and keep following God's plan. He knows what He's doing. We're about to hit our first goal in numbers in the next couple of weeks. Then we're going to set a new goal that I believe will happen even quicker. So I encourage you guys to invite as many people as you can. Remmeber it's not about the numbers for the sake of numbers. But it's about reaching as many people as we can and bringing them to Jesus. Get involved and figure out what it is that God has planned for you to be a part of even before you were ever born. And just trust in His timing.
