Just do it!

God had spoken, we were positive about that. We knew that He wanted us to travel. That sounds so simple doesn't it. Just one little word, travel. The list of things that needed to happen for us to travel was staggering. We started getting things done on the house and rv and were feeling pretty good about our progress for a while. Then we stopped looking at the goal and what God was doing and started looking at all the stuff that had to happen before we could simply travel. Looking back I feel somewhat like peter in
Matthew 14:29b-30 "Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”"

We were doing what God had told us to do but we began to look at the waves of adversity in our lives and we began to sink. That was when we went to a friend of ours home church desperately hoping for a word from God to ensure us we were in fact on the right track. When we settled in our friend looked at the group and told us that God had been laying it on his heart all week that we all needed to pray for each other and give any words that God gave us. Just as in verse 31 of matthew 14 Jesus reached down his hand to us and set our feet on the path of his calling. Most of the people there had no idea what we had felt God tell us to do and yet every person there shared word after word that confirmed what God had been sharing with us. The one that sticks out the most was from a teenager who looked at us and said that she heard God saying "Just do it". After a night of confirmations that we were doing what God wanted we literally felt as though God had pulled us back onto the top of the see and the waves didn't feel quite so daunting anymore. Until next time, God bless.
