I love how God can give you the scripture you needed to read, the story you needed to hear, or the prayer you needed to pray.  God has really been providing me with sweet encouragement and I received it again today at Life Church.  Craig Groeschel has been sharing different sermons he has done around the world.  Toady's sermon came from Acts 20:22-24

"And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.  I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.  However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-- the task testifying to the gospel of God's grace."

Paul was leaving his comfortable life in Ephesus to take a leap of faith with God.  Craig pointed out 4 things that will happen when you take a leap of faith.
1. Spirit's prompting- It wasn't MY choice or My idea but I am compelled by the Spirit to move to Haiti.  There is a longing in my heart for this poor country and kids. What is the Spirit prompting you to do?
2. Certain uncertainty- This is the fear of not knowing.  In order to step into your destiny you have to step away from security.  If you are not living with uncertainty then you are not living by faith.
3. Predictable resistance- it is in the rough times when God is doing something inside you.
4. Uncommon Clarity- This is what I was made for... this is why God put me on Earth.

All of these 4 things from Paul are what is going on in my life.  At times no one understands, it is hard to explain why I am moving to Haiti, but I am compelled by the Spirit to trust God and take the leap of faith!  What a blessing this sermon was in my life.  It is Gods way of telling me to be patient for 1 more month... He will provide, I just have to fix my eyes on all that He is. Not what the world is.
