Month: March 2015

Did I really just quit my job? Yup! …Okay God now what? We started sharing our decision with those close to us . You should see peoples eyes light up. ” you quit your job, but don’t have another one lined yet?” and our response, “nope, we are just trusting what God told us to do.”

I said this very prayer, ” God you now have many eyes on our situation , I need you to come through big now. ”

I had no idea what I was asking for , LOL, seriously.

In the midst of all of this God started stirring my heart to an issue going on in the world that I was starting to learn more about. The issue of Sex Trafficking in America. The more I learned, the angrier I got. A holy anger, like this cannot happen! I was upset, “God why is this happening? Please free these victims!” I felt so sad for the victims. I felt sick. I felt every emotion possible.

I started to think of my own life and how when I was younger and looking for love in the wrong places, God heard the prayers of my parents because I put myself in many dangerous situations that I could have been taken and someone could have put me in a place where I was also a victim to this horrible mess. But I wasn’t and I needed to do something about those that were.

I asked God to show me what I could do with this passion to see these victims set free. Our God is one that cares about justice  in this world. God gives us free will but some people don’t make the right decisions with that free will. There are people out there that want to enslave people and make people loose all their dignity and thats just WRONG! I believe there are some issues that we are just to pray about and others that we are suppose to be an active participant in speaking up and protecting the voiceless. I knew God was calling me to do more than just pray about this issue.

It was time to get to work to bring more awareness to this issue and help to those being held captive. I didn’t know with which organization or when but I knew  it would happen.

I reached out to multiple organizations and just prayed God would open up the right door.

Who knew that he would have a better door for me to go through than the ones I was knocking on. :).

This Song Sums up the Call God was giving to me and my husband.

After coming back from my mission trip , I really was thinking about how I could apply what I learned and felt in Haiti back to my community in PA.

I know I came back with greater faith, a new lens and new perspective on my daily life. I once complained about things that I dare not complain about now. More than anything I wanted to make a greater impact for Christ.

I stayed very active in my church, active in my community, looked at my work differently, etc….. and then something started to happen. I felt like God was about to start shifting some things.

Words like preparation, transition, influence …..were starting to circulate in my heart and spirit.

I was starting to feel an unease and restless, like there was more that I was being called to do.

I prayed and prayed and God spoke.

I felt God telling me that it was time to transition from job. I prayed that God would prepare my husbands heart as I revealed this news to him. I wrote down pros and cons to leaving and just shared my heart and what God was saying.

We prayed about it that week and then were in agreement that it was time to move forward. That next Monday I resigned. Due to having a higher position I gave a two months notice in order for there to be a smooth transition.

I had speaking engagements that were to come later in the year and I felt God telling me to cancel them. So I did.

It felt like God was clearing the room for something. Something big. Our  job was to be obedient and have faith and God would do the rest.

Mission = Faith.
