Hebrews 11:8
"By faith Abraham , when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, OBEYED AND WENT, even though he did not know where he was going." (NIV)
So... It's 2 am. I was supposed to be on schedule for work today, or so I thought. I wasn't. I have also been supposed to visit the Mansfield area to hang out with the guys from The Community at Lakeridge. (By the way, if you are anywhere near the Mansfield area, those guys are absolutely fantastic and I always suggest those interested to check them out.) Continuing... I thought to myself: "Hey! Let's go up to the Metroplex tomorrow and throw some worship stuff together for TCAL!" I thought this so randomly, remembering that I hadn't been scheduled today, so the trip would be easier to take before they fix the schedule. So, I called Brian Swiggart of TCAL, and found out that himself, and the Paul Mints will be out on a quick vacation.
"Still go!"-God
"What?! Why?"-Matt
"The last two things I made sure you did changed your life forever. Go."-God
"You're crazy, and it's not practical!"-Kaity
"Neither were the last two things God made sure I did, but he rewarded me so abundantly for them! LET'S GO!!!"-Matt
"Dang. I just read 1 Peter 1 this morning about preparing for action. Ahhh."-Kaity
This is the question I'm still asking myself... "Why are we going?" Kaity and I are pumped though! We don't have too much of a set plan whatsoever yet! We're really interested in ministering to some ETC Team Leaders in the metroplex area, and I'm most likely going to start looking around for work since I'm locating to the metroplex area as soon as God provides a way there! I did just look at a map though, and was previously unaware as to how dang big the metroplex is... And it does seem like the students we want to go visit aren't exactly right next to each other... By faith, we OBEY AND GO! Here we come!
In the meanwhile, Team Leaders keep getting pumped for our state-wide launch this upcoming Monday! Make sure we're in contact over the next couple days before we get started, and I'll try to plan another leadership conference call soon! Two verses a week, and one extended passage a month! Changing thoughts changes actions, changing actions changes lives, and changing lives changes the world! Here we go!
-Much love,
Matt Allen
