the fourth stage: birth

Please go to my blog archive on the right and go down to June. Read God's timing.

Now that you know the story of how God spoke to us about attending ywam let me say this:

     There are 4 seasons in a year but i'm not looking at this year as weather seasons. I want to look back at this year and say there were 4 stages.
     The first stage of this year the Lord really showed us that HE is our provider. It was amazing.
     The second stage was waiting and trusting in the Lord, believing Him for what He has called us to do.
     The third stage was tasting a little bit of that promise(getting accepted) and starting the work(fundraisers) for receiving His promise.(ywam)
     The fourth stage is starting next week. I feel as though we are being 'birthed' out. (remember my diagram and my blog from June)
     We are entering the last stages of this year and I am imagining child birth and giving birth to a child is not easy. There is pain but there is also the blessing at the end. As this last season is approaching I already know that I am going to be tested in trusting God with the finances we need. Isn't it funny that now those two are combined. trusting & finances. The same things that He taught and showed us from the first two stages of this year.

     Please be praying for us as we are entering this last stage. Your prayers and your friendship mean so much to us. One specific prayer that you can pray for us is that we are receiving everything the Lord has for us to learn and receive from this last stage before we are pushed out. We want to be everything the Lord has called us to be.
