Quick update – I love how God will stir the body to prayer even when you don’t ask! In the last couple days I’ve gotten numerous contacts from people outside the team telling me I was heavy on their heart and that they’re praying… I know their prayers are joining with yours and I’m feeling the breakthrough! It’s like watching a stormy sky clearing… and I am READY for some sunshine 😉
My prayer request is for peace during shifting. My husband and I sense that a church home move is in our future… could be next week, could be a couple years from now, but we feel it there. Allen has been sensing it for 2 years, me more like since January. The reason I’m asking for prayer is that I love stability and the shifting I sense feels uncomfortable for me. I know God’s plans for us are good and so whatever He has planned will be good (perhaps a church that even does flags!), but the unknown makes me feel a bit unsettled. We will be visiting a church this weekend. Don’t know if this is “the one” but we feel we have to go at least. Of course, we visited Destiny (our current church home) 4 months before God moved us there and dismissed it as an option (it wasn’t God’s timing).
The other piece to this is that I LOVE my church and the people there. The last several years have been a very desert season for both our church and many in the congregation (including us). Like Gideon’s army God’s been whittling the church down and I know that’s been a difficult and humbling process for my pastor (who I love). Allen and I are leaders at our church and both have been very actively involved over the years (and Allen still is, I’ve had to bow out as D4Y has grown). So my second prayer is for the heart of my pastor… I know we still don’t know when we’re going but I’m asking God to start preparing my pastor’s heart now – we strongly desire to maintain the relationships we’ve built there if and when God moves us.
Finally, a team update – Roslyn has stepped down from the team. The Lord’s been shifting her focus over the past month and she sensed it was time to be single focused. I’ve greatly appreciated her participation – as I do all of you – and I pray God multiply back to her the blessing she has sown here. 🙂
As always thanks to all of you for everything you do!
Meghan, will be praying about the shift. So glad you are beginning to see the clouds clearing. Roslyn, I will miss your presence on the team also. I have very much appreciated your discernment and voice.
Meghan, I will be praying for you and Allen during this shift. I too am one that loves to be secure, stable. Don’t like to be shaken to much, but God has other plans for me and I know it involves STEPPING out of my little box, lol
I pray for wisdom and strength for both of you and i will keep your pastors in my prayers too.
Love you Ms. Meghan
