A little over a year ago my family and I had about all we could take of Church shopping. We had visited many church's and went several different communities looking and searching for what God had called us to. We had discussed helping a friend plant a church in another town and we had also begun meeting in our own home with some friends who were much in the same boat we were in! We were really struggling with where we were going in Christ, and seeking Him for all of the right answers.
This brings me to my blog and the title of it......"Hearing God's Call".
I really felt like God was drawing me to learn how to be a discipler of His people and to study Ministry to bring Glory to His Kingdom, and last November I started seeking out ways to do so. I found Indiana Wesleyan University and their online program for Christian Ministries and I began to check into enrollment into this program. God was leading me to this.
After we began checking more into this program and the start dates and some other aspects of me beginning we felt as though God was saying this is what I want you to do, but now is not the right time.
Four months later we discovered a church plant (Elevation) in our very own community. Since God led us to Elevation there have been many blessings in our lives and God is doing wonderful things in this body of Christ and in our Community through Elevation. Diana and I began to discuss the IWU option again for us, and decided that now is the time for me to take this course. God has His hand in this and is putting us in the right position for GREAT things to further His kingdom.
As it stands right now for us 2012 looks to be very spiritually rewarding and God in His infinite wisdom is fulfilling His lifelong plan for my life!
