Here and Now

This past weekend I was supposed to lead a young, teen girls group in a Disciple Now weekend, but due to the death of my grandmother I was unable to fulfill the commitment. My wonderful friends, Jenni and Claire, filled in for me and it was a wonderful weekend. I thought the material for the Bible studies was really good so I have decided to study it in depth on my own. It focuses on the HERE AND NOW. The main theme is Joshua's life.

The first lesson is challenging people to live in the here and now for Jesus. I think this is a wonderful message and I can really apply it to my life right now. Many times we are searching for God's will in our lives and when we figure it out we wait for it. For instance, God's will may be for someone to get married and have a family. Well, they wait to truly live for Jesus until that occurs. For me, I feel God's plan for my immediate future is to tell Japan about Him for 6 months. Well, I find myself putting my testament to Christ on hold. I am not looking for opportunities to work for Christ now. It is like I am storing all of my Christian energy for Japan. So I challenge you to find something you can do NOW. Someway that you can serve Jesus today and tomorrow and the next week. Don't wait for God to revel His plan for your life; don't wait for some major event to happen. God won't reveal His plan for you unless you are working towards it. He wants your help in His kingdom, so give it to Him!

Thank you for all of your love and support! I have been truly blessed in the last couple of months!
