Intersections
Hello Friends, Family, Web-surfers...
We are all alive and well here in Dorchester, I assure you. It seems like we may have all been a little bit distracted over the last few months and neglected these blogs.
Last week at our staff meeting Paul was asking us how we could all pray for each other going into the busy summer months. As I thought about it I could sum my prayer requests up in one word: Transition.
Now that I am thinking about it, Transition might not be the best word. Let me try this explaination:
I feel like I am at a typical New England intersection where there are 7 different roads intersecting at once. The metaphor doesn't really have anything to do with me choosing one of those 7 roads... it's more along the lines of me being a crossing guard at that intersection! I feel like I am standing at that intersection and walking people across, stopping traffic here and there, but I am very aware at all times of many cars coming from different directions, some that know what they are doing, some that are out of state and then I have the pedestrians to cross safely.
One of our staff prayed for me that in the midst of transitions that I would know God as a CONSTANT. It's incredible how God really does answer prayers isn't it? Because this past week God has been reveling His consistency to me consistently. Day after day I have found Him asking me, "Do you believe my words?" through scripture, sermons, conversations with friends or emails. It is amazing because I didn't even remember the prayer until I noticed a little note I had written in my agenda about five minutes ago.
That is a very, very long way of saying: "God is Good!"
