Walking in the Way

Walking in the Way

Isaiah 30:21
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."

Isaiah 42:16

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

Isaiah 48:17
This is what the LORD says-- your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.

   I’m just your average, everyday ordinary woman, who humbly serves the Lord with her all. (most of the time)    I’m not perfect, I mess up a lot, but in that moment, when I really let go and let God take me to the paths he has set for me, incredible things happen.  

  Doug and I were looking back over the things that God has done in just my ministry opportunities this past year.  Storying at TCT, writing the song for Becky’s wedding, the Humming Choir, the business side of TCT and seeing God bring us more women and more orders, English camp ideas and evangelism opportunities.  Each event had a common theme.   When the task was before me, I had no idea where to begin.  I started by walking down that road God put before me and as I walked He showed me what was next. 

  I did not know when I heard God say, “Make my Word real to them.” and I began my research and training for the storying method I chose, the impact it would have on my staff and later Doug’s staff.  I did not know that I would see revival happen in the hearts of so many of my staff.  I did not know it would revamp our Gospel sharing time with our home workers at TCT who are not Christians.  I did not know the joy I would see or the elation I would hear from so many that realized the amount of scripture they were memorizing.

 

 

  I did not know when I started writing Becky’s song, if I would be able to finish it before the wedding.  I did not know what a treasure it would turn out to be.  What I did know was I didn’t have the ability to write it, but as I walked down the path, God gave me the song.  Wow!  What a joyful event!

 

  I did not know when I started the humming choir if that crazy idea would work.  I did not know that we would eventually sing in front of people -- until last Wednesday when practice was through and I thought we should go next door to sing for the patients at the clinic.  I did not know, as our evangelist introduced us and talked about how Christians love to praise God for the great things He does for us, that our humming Choir could be used as an evangelism tool.

 

  I did not know as we accepted a higher volume of orders from our British client at TCT, how we would accomplish such a great volume.  But God sent us more women from places where we already have Christian groups meeting and He gave us more ways to reach people with the Gospel. Wow! What ways God works!

   I did not know when I hired a young man who grew up in my yard as a child,  that the combination our our storying, singing, and sharing times together would lead to his   salvation and a baptism within two months.  

 

  I did not know when I kept being assigned the, “children’s English program”, on mobile clinic weeks that I would develop a curriculum using  The Creation Story  for young children and a curriculum about The Good Samaritan for teens. I had no idea that I would write numerous songs for these mini English camps that would be used over and over again. 

 

  All these things and more accomplished by this simple ordinary average person when my God whispers the way for me and I walk in it.
