stepping out on faith

a couple of months ago I stepped out on faith to pursue music and ministry full time. I am learning to trust God. I worked hard as a custodian for about 4 1/2 years at a church. It brought me a steady income and it was hard for me to let go of something that was so sure. I knew every 2 weeks I would receive a paycheck and I knew that as long as I wanted it, the job was mine.Mind you, it was no glamourous high paying job but it was a sure thing and in todays world it seemed crazy 2 give something like that up. BUT GOD kept nudging me and giving me little hints that I was supposed to be elsewhere. Mostly it was just the unsatisfied feeling I had when I thought about even going to work. I wasn't miserable but I wasn't happy. I knew there was something else I was supposed to do.

I struggled back and forth whether to turn in my notice and just make a move to do the one thing I've dreamed of, the one thing I feel I've been "called" to do. As i stuggled with this decision, every doubt u could imagine flooded my head. "Will I make enough $$", "What will happen if.."? The list goes on and on. In any event the day finally came and I went to my boss's office and I did it. I turned in my notice and a peace that I can't even describe overwhelmed me when I left his office. Over the next few days although doubts came to mind God's perfect peace remained and I became more and more confident that I had made the right decision.

That same peace is still with me today. It's going on 3 months now and God has provided. I am not saying I have all the sudden come into a bunch of $$ but I am more at ease and more at peace and that's worth way more than $$$. I get up every morning and I trust God to provide. He has not let me down. If I look to far down the road, I start to freak out a little bit but God always reminds me not to look that far. He reminds me that even when I was homeless he provided for me. He reminds me that the birds of the air don't have a bank account or know where their next meal is coming from but somehow he takes care of them. Now if God takes care of birds I know he'll take care of me. This blog has been started 2 encourge people. Not to act rashly or make life altering decsions like quitting jobs(unless of course that's where God is leading you). It's meant to show u that God will keep his word and in doing so increase yours and my faith. we just have to trust him.

So as we take this journey 2gether let's trust God and just keep walking!
