My dad has read that verse to me and reminded me of it for as long as I can remember and I've prayed through it and pondered the promises that are in that statement numerous times. However, the reality of that verse has truly come alive to me in the past couple of days. I applied to be a Protege at National Community Church (in Washington, DC). I was really excited when I heard about the opportunity to go there and learn from the leaders of that church and the various things that they are doing in that community, but I was just praying that God's will would be done. Most interesting to me is their use of a coffee house for ministry, it's called Ebenezers. If any of you actually know me, you know that combining coffee and God really speaks to my heart. Anyway, this is the first year the Protege Program is being offered and it comes at a great time because I just graduated from college. Actually, before I graduated people were asking me about my future plans and for some reason my response would be "I don't know, really...who knows, I might end up in Washington". I guess God laid this on my heart before I even really knew it was a possibility!
Well, today I found out that I will be moving to Washington, DC and start on this awesome journey in the beginning of September as a Protege of NCC. More specifically, my focus of ministry will be Ebenezers Coffeehouse!! :) God truly does have it all figured out and we just have to be faithful to his leading in our lives. God planned this for my life and gave me the heart and opportunity to pursue it. I'm so blessed and really excited to be a part of the National Community Church team.
The reality is that a year ago I never imagined that I would be moving to Washington, DC...God doesn't lie, His plans are far greater than we can ever imagine. He promises not only that He knows the plans for our future, but that they are good plans. This experience is just another example of God's faithfulness and awesome sovereignty. I'm continuously blown away!
WASHINGTON, HERE I COME! :)
