Wow...to update you in as few words as possible (so I don't loose you)....
God is sooooooooooooo good!!!! If you read my first blog entry, you will see the summary of this journey's beginning -where I realized what God was leading me to and knew what I needed to do--Kneeling Bridge Ministries--but how to do it was a mystery. Well today is November 12 and in a month here is what has progressed:
--I have left my position as Director of Informations Systems with Classic Leather, Inc.
--Thankfully, I am working for them on a contract basis/monthly pay plan (so I have at least a little income for now)
--I am going to incorporate Kneeling Bridge Ministries & apply for it's 501c3 status asap (PRAY!)
--I want KBM's focus to be service oriented with missions goals--I want to somehow lead/organize mission trips to Ukraine (other countries?), start medical missions & distribute medical equipment to hospitals/clinics in desperate need around the world, and will develop and design websites as a ministry to churches/non-profits as well as to businesses for profit :)
--Mostly I want to be open to where God is leading and be ready to take up my cross for Him!
I am so clear on what God wanted me to do and am sure that He is in this and in control. Pray for me because I get scared (like when I spent $60+ yesterday on very few groceries) and when I wonder where all this is leading.
Specific prayer requests:
1) For clarity in preparing the incorporation/tax-exempt papers
2) For discipline to set goals and work on them daily
3) For me to each day spend quality time with the Lord
4) For web sites to design
5) For God to use me in His way-whatever that may be

I hear the cry of your heart making the same sound as my own..."Father, I just want to be where you want me to be...doing whatever You want me to do." If there was a way to shut off my head and just let my heart do the talking!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it awesome to think that if everyone would get into their special place in God's master plan that everything would get done in excellence and there would be no lack. WOW...what a concept!
I pray that everyone's heartcry would lead them to take that first step of courage in God like you have done. Although you have to stay with it each day, I think that the first step so often delays folks from getting started. Let's praise God for FIRST STEPS!!!
Get ready now....balance on one foot and step out with the other.
Hey Shannon.....I will be praying for you and your ministry. It sounds like you have discovered what God has written on your heart!

Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be putting your mission on the "Storming Heaven List (my morning prayer list)".
As we discussed, God calls for our submission to Him. With that He is able to guide us where HE wants us to be. Sounds like that is EXACTLY where He is guiding you.

Shannon, I am joining you in prayer for God's leading for all that's ahead. I'm also excited for you - God always rewards an obedient servant with an abundance of His love.
