I stumbled across your blog some time back and often time find you writing about the very things I and my friend talk about. He has a similar story to yours about leaving all behind in obediance to the Lord's call. We talked recently about Joseph in reference to taking the low place. Joseph could have said "I am innocent and here unjustly, and this certainly isn't the fullfillment of the dreams you gave me so I'm going to mope in the corner." But instead, he accepted his position and sought to minister to all around him. In doing so he gained the skills and gifting needed to step into the next position the Lord prepared for him. The low place, to be abased, to walk in humility, is to walk in the way of our precious Lord. Is there any higher calling?

May you continue in His blessing,
Mary

I am relatively new to your website but I too look forward to your new blogs every week. I want to comment what a blessing it is to have someone lay carpet in a bus for a sister in Christ, or to spend the day working on a brother’s motorhome. If they had to look in the yellowpages and pay someone to do that it would probably cost a fortune. I believe God is using you as a blessing to some of His other children by helping them out like this. I am keeping you in my prayers.
