Praying Mantis

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

663px-praying_mantis_indiaI had a wonderful experience today. I was running a few miles along a paved path this afternoon. About 1 mile in i noticed something on the ground a few yards in front of me; it was a praying mantis. Before I could think too much about how cool Praying Mantis’ are, I ran by another one right in the middle of my path. “That’s odd.” I said to myself. Then just a few yards farther, two more were right on my running path. There were 4 Praying Mantis’ just sitting in the middle the path that I passed in a matter of 30 seconds.

If you’ve been keeping up with my posts you know that I’m in a tough transition stage of my life right now. I’m leaving my position at come2go ministries. It’s been an emotional roller coaster. But I’ve been so encouraged by tons of people calling, emailing & going out of their way to tell me that they’re praying for me.

As I passed those 4 Praying Mantis’, I felt God tell me that everyone who has been praying for me is helping me run my race and enabling me to continue running strong and hard. Thank you all for your prayers; they accomplish more than you know.

A Re-Positioning

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

We seem to be in a season of re-positioning. I’ve run into a lot of people lately who have been quickly uprooted from their position and have quickly been placed somewhere else.

For the past 2 months I have been having feelings of “something’s coming”. I even told Bethany that “something’s coming”, but I had no idea what. This past week I found out what the “something” is. I have resigned my position at come2go ministries due to some issues of personal convictions and am entering a transition period into something new. I don’t know what the “new” is yet but in the middle of my sadness I have a growing sense of excitment.

I didn’t want to leave come2go; it’s not something I’ve been planning. In the matter of a few short weeks my life was turned upside-down. In the midst of all that sadness & pain, I know that God is re-positioning me and Bethany. I am very excited to see what God does.
