Here I am

We have finally, after what seemed like an eternity, arrived in our new house, and have begun to settle in. It's been a week now, and I have to say, I find this a wonderful place to live. The beach is only an hour away, and the mountains even less.

On the flip side, I have felt challenged personally throughout the transition time in many ways - the enemy has especially tried to attack me in the area of the mind - in the area of fear, narrow-thinking, and so on. But it has been a time where I have felt so close to God - more than ever, because He has been my hiding place in this time. I have left friends and familiar things behind, but have been able to cling on to my God, who is with me wherever I go.

Things are beginning to move along now; I'm currently working on getting to know all the young people on our contact list, and starting up a small group to facilitate discipleship and leadership development in the group.

God has reminded me of this Scripture through three separate sermons in the last few weeks:

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..."

Ephesians 3:20 TNIV

I'm excited, because we serve the God of Immeasurably More - and He is going to do amazing things here. I can't let the enemy contain me - and I must not think small. Because at work within me (and you), is the God who created the whole universe. What he can do through us when we give our days to Him, is literally without limit!
