back to 7:10

Joel and I chose to step out of our collage ministries ( 7:10 ) when we got married. We knew that our priority and our "main" ministry (our focus) was serving in student ministries, and we also knew we needed to cut down on doing "too much" to make sure we were taking time out for our marriage and not spreading ourselves out too thin, leaving everyone at a loss.

Since we have made that decision God has given us a bigger desire and love for student ministries. It has confirmed that this was really where our hearts truly were and where Jesus wanted to be used through our lives.

However, we have unexpectedly been given the opportunity to come back and serve in the collage ministry this semester. We don't know how long or necessarily why God has brought us back, but we are excited to find out. We may not know the reason, and that's okay because we know its NOT a mistake.

I have been praying that my heart would be transformed to be ready to love with a sincere brotherly love and that I would be earnestly ready to pour into others, instead of going because I "have to."- which could easily be the case. But I feel God answering prayers, because we are ready and we are excited!

I have been motivated by a verse in the bible; its 1st Peter 1:22 it says;
"Having purified your souls by your OBEDIENCE to the truth for a SINCERE BROTHERLY LOVE, LOVE one another EARNESTLY from a PURE heart."

Pretty cool huh!?
