God's Call

An amazing thing is happening. God is calling me. I know for loads of my readers who are not Christians this may sound really odd, but it is really real for me at the moment. The phone did not ring. I did not get the "You've Got Mail" sound on my mobile. Nobody rang my doorbell. But all I can think about is one thing only, and how I really want to be a part of it, serving God, loving people, building relationships. And one morning, I heard an audible voice wake me up...but more of that later!!!

The day before my birthday, which is the 16th August, Dave told me of a new project. My reaction was, "oh...right."- Such was my knowledge of THAT PROJECT. The next day, we watched a film. The main character uttered the words, "I know what I have to do to. I have to..." THAT PROJECT, again. Repeatedly, we engaged in conversations where THAT PROJECT was brought up by the other party.

THAT PROJECT is not something I have experience in. It is not something I have heard much about. It is not something that I have always wanted to do. It is not a safe bet, an easy ride or a project of my dreams, and yet I am dreaming about THAT PROJECT, almost nightly. THAT PROJECT. THAT PROJECT.

One morning, I was woken up by a loud voice saying, "Start big!" It was loud, excited, clear and strong. It made me jump out of bed! NOTHING makes me jump out of bed!!! Bed is one of my favourite places. But, that voice did make me jump up, wake up and feel ready. I feel ready to follow Jesus, whatever He wants me to do.

So, we are praying. We are waiting. God knows what we need to make the next step. He knows the obstacles we will overcome. He knows our own weaknesses. He knows my insaitable need for adventure. He knows how carried away I can get. He knows whether we'll do it or not.

Right now, I'm sat in my hallway, typing this post. Only He knows at I'll be doing tomorrow!!!
So I ask you to pray. Pray for us. We want to hear God and He knows what we need...please pray...and then I can tell you all the details!!!
