Are you going to tell us? ...And Ray said ........ ? <BR/><BR/>Are you going to tell us? Is there more to the phone call? Just wondering...<BR/><BR/>At any rate, your introduction to what you are going to tell us about what Ray said when he called has encouraged me too. I said "I'm all in" too, and I am not known to take risks, especially big risks. Ask anybody who has known me for more than 5 years. But, God called. He told me to go to Israel, then Mexico, then China. China was a tough one. Then I talked to Ray. Then God talked to my husband. THEN we went to China. <BR/><BR/>Faith (someone I know spells that R-I-S-K)comes a little easier now. Still not easy, but easier. Trust comes easier, as I have experienced the faithfulness of my God in greater ways. And I've found that I do not experience the faithfulness of my God until I let go of all that I trust in and choose to trust him instead. <BR/><BR/>That's why on that fateful Sunday in June, at a family meeting, I said "I'm all in." In What?Network? Simple Church? Change? Can't we just keep driving that 50 mile round trip? Piece of cake! But no. Not going back to safe. Too much at R-I-S-K for that! <BR/><BR/>Is this the only way? No. Is it the only way for me at this time? Yes. So... I'm trusting in the Lord with all my strength, and I'm leaning on my own understanding, but in all my ways acknowledging him, knowing that he is directing my path. <BR/><BR/>So Bill .... what was it that Ray said?Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12329538163152933011noreply@blogger.com
