Impossible… I love that word. Four and half years ago I would have said that God transforming me from the inside out to serve Him was impossible. But He did it. Day-by-day and moment-by-moment… God did the impossible in my life.

I am a living breathing testimony of the transforming power of the grace and mercy of the Living God.

And as I sit here now, two weeks away from flying toward Israel, I ponder my journey so far and the journey ahead.

This past weekend I went to Dallas and said goodbye to my family. Even as I write this tears sting my eyes as I think of them… my family, my brothers and my sisters. I think of their spouses and their children. For many years I was away from them living in the world as I pleased… and now I am away from them serving the Lord. Were those 20 years preparing me to say Yes to God’s call on my life now? I wonder.

When God asks us, “Will you serve me?” We say a quick yes… but do we truly count the cost? I wonder. The price of serving Him in this world is everything. Every… single… last… thing… person… dream… thought… emotion… pain… everything.

“Will you serve me? Will you listen and obey me above all else?” He asks each one of us every single moment of every single day of our lives. His voice can be heard if we listen.

“while it is said, “Today [while there is still opportunity] if you hear His voice, Do not harden your heart, as when they provoked Me [in the rebellion in the desert at Meribah].”” – Hebrews‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Listen, quiet yourself today, He will speak to you and you’ll hear His voice saying, “This is the way walk in it.”

Saturday morning I felt strongly from the Lord to finish my packing for Israel. So I packed “Only what will fit under the seat in front of me.” Into my backpack. And gave the rest of my possessions away. So now all I own fits into a backpack once again. As I turn my face toward the journey ahead… I got a ride with my friend to Dallas and met my mother. We went out to dinner for Mexican food and it was wonderful to get to spend time with her. How I’ll miss her when I’m gone…

After a rough night of sleep I went with my family to Life Church in Dallas. As the service started my family went to get seats and I went to the restroom… as I came out I saw a wall with different announcements and such. I felt to walk over and view them. I stood there in the empty lobby of the church and suddenly a man was introducing himself and we began to chat. We talked until the service ended. A divine appointment. I shared my journey and my relationship with the Lord with this man. I will continue to pray for Him as I continue onward.

I have moments with most and so I’m grateful when God allows me to speak of Him to others I meet.

I was think of how we define “ministry”, prayer, and other Christian words in our lives. Mostly I think we don’t truly see or discern with any accuracy which moments are natural and which hold eternal significance. I am beginning to learn to be a living House Of Prayer, a temple of the Holy Spirit, and in continual communication with the Living God.

Walking in the Spirit is where I want and need to be every single moment of every single day. And that’s the goal right? A life lived in constant communication with our Heavenly Father. That is our daily bread that sustains us as we finish out our time on this earth. He is the only reason to live and to love.

His way or ours. Moment-by-moment…

Let’s travel together shall we? And see where God will lead us on this journey of faith. Let’s go up to the Mount Of God and be hidden in the cleft of the rock if only we could glimpse His back as He passes by. Let’s bow our heart to His will and become the men and women He intended us to be. Let’s embrace the brief suffering of the cross to gain the vast riches of the life prepared for us for eternity with Him.

So there are so many God moments happening and I will try to convey them as best I can as I travel this journey.

So yesterday… through connections and God appointments… my trip to South Korea and Israel has been moved up. I now leave the USA on September 30th. And I will go to South Korea and then to Israel to be there by the 3rd-ish. God is doing so many things so fast I’m still trying to process it all.

I had a phone call with a lady this morning that will be passing through Haifa on the 6th of October and it seems God has something planned there.

Moment-by-moment… we walk with Him.
