Where You Go I Go

 1As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.2Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Ephesians 4:1-6

My prayer today is that though I may struggle when God gives me a new role, that He would help me to submit to the calling He has for me. That I would be able to live my life each day according to His will and His calling on my life. That He would continue to open my eyes to see which direction He has for me. That I would be more humble, gentle, patient, loving, and forgiving. That myself and others would know that we serve ONE God-who is Father of all things-He is in all, over all, and through everything that we do. Thank you God!!! 

This passage was such a good one this morning! I just desire to go where God wants for me and do what God wants for me. I want to continue to grow in Him each and every day and just want to glorify Him in everything that I do. 

Thank you Lord, for being there in everything that goes on in our lives. For leading us and guiding us in the direction of your calling so faithfully. For loving us no matter what and for your grace. You truly are an awesome God! I love you Lord!

Ignite!!!

Sooo...I've waited too long to blog about this because we have been SO EXCITED! There has just not been time to sit down and spill :) So to all of you waiting patiently-here...you...go!

The exciting news is...

Dun Dun Dunnn:

Jordan & I recently accepted a youth internship at Harvestland Open Bible Church in Clarkston, MI. We will be doing the youth service there every Sunday night starting April 18th until ??? We are going to do this internship until we feel God is telling us otherwise! The youth group is called "Ignite"-hence the blog title. They are a growing youth group and they have just recently moved services to Sunday nights which is amazing because that works perfectly into our schedule. God works out all the little details, doesn't He? So we are so extremely excited that God has provided us with this opportunity and we CANNOT WAIT to start working with the youth there.

Everything has happened so extremely fast...it's crazy! We received confirmation that ministry was what God had for Jordan and I, we accepted it, and prayed for God to open the right doors. And guess what? HE DID! And he did it sooner rather than later. It just goes to show how faithful and how awesome our God is! He reveals everything perfectly in His timing and this is what He has for us right now and we are so blessed to be apart of it :)

So please keep Jordan and I in your prayers as we start this new journey into youth ministry. We are nervous and excited all at the same time so we shall see what God has in store at Harvestland! WOO HOO!
