I couldn't sleep at all!

A few nights ago I woke with a big idea. For me to wake up is a big deal. When I go to sleep, I go to sleep. But I woke up with some ideas about helping churches establish healthy pathways to become more like Christ. This thought overwhelmed me so I began to write down all the stuff that I felt God leading me to write.
After about an hour I went back to bed. It was 2:54. I looked at the clock and felt the Lord whisper 2:54 a scripture reference. I thought, “What scripture is 2:54”. So I got back up and got my bible. I began looking for 2:54 and found nothing. Then I turned to the book of Isaiah and thought 54:2. I looked up that passage to find the same passage that God used in William Cary’s life to launch the modern missionary movement.
As I reflected on what I read I thought about William Cary. He made shoes and was a big nobody. But God used that big nobody to move a generation of believers to go to the dark corners of the earth and preach the gospel. Because a cobbler heard the voice of God nations were brought to Christ.
I think God is up to something big and He is speaking to a “nobody” preacher in Tallahassee. Please pray for me that I might hear from God and then have the courage to follow Him.
Tara opens her gym, Fitwize 4 Kids, this Saturday. If you live in Tallahassee drop by and see us, 2915 Kerry Forest Parkway (behind the Bank of Tallahassee). We are excited and nervous. We are praying that God will use this business to build lives that honor Him.
