When I first decided to pursue investing into this ministry, I spent a long time in prayer reaching out to God for guidance and clarity. I knew that I needed people who would walk alongside me in all of this and I knew I needed to rely on him. Throughout the beginnings of the ministry, God provided for me in so many ways. Whether it was housing, finances, or direction, he reached out to help me in my times of need through others. God also brought Andrea into my life, and me into hers. Her faithfulness and hard work has brought the ministry to a place now that I could not myself have accomplished without the work God has done through her.
The night before our coffee meet and greet at Andrea's house on Friday, Andrea and I took a few minutes to pray over the phone. We both felt a calling to lift up the ministry on prayer much more often than we had been doing. I was able to see how God honored our prayers and hard work the next morning. Our ministry went from 1 committee member to 4 in less than three hours!! Praise God for his faithfulness when we reach out to him. God responds with such mercy and grace.
I chose this title because I think it is important to know that me must seek him out not only because he is FAITHFUL to our prayers but because he is so STRONG!! Nothing is stronger than our God!! I wonder why I don't invite him into everything in my day!? A friend of mine, Joel, and I were talking and he said: "I fail to live for him completely every day. I wish I could have at least one day in which every second I live, I lived for God." I resonate with Joel because I see God's faithfulness and it is sad to me that I get surprised with how STRONG he really is.
It is amazing that God loves us in spite of who we are, it is even more astonishing that He is the most beneficial thing for us to have love us. Our God is strong and he loves us. I only wish we could constantly realize our potential in Him. For it is written "no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him--" (1 Corinthians 2:9).
Take a moment now to acknowledge God for his faithfulness throughout your life and invite him to be powerful in and through you.
Romans 8:28
