Where is your opening door?

At Worship Team practice this morning, our final song was "I Will Follow." The song starts by saying where you go, I'll go. Where you stay, I'll stay. Where you more, I'll move. I will follow." God has told me to go and I will be going.

After many nights of wondering and praying for this summer, the door has opened up for me to go back and serve at Sandy Cove this coming summer. I prayed that God wanted me there and I wasn't just going to escape home for a couple weeks. I plan on being gone from mid June to early August. However, this is where God opened a bigger door.

While talking with my Mother, I said, "What if when I went out there this summer, I just stayed there and didn't come home?" Immediately a lightbulb went off. The next night I found myself applying for Wilmington University in Delaware. A very reliable friend of mine told me about the school and it has the same degree I'm shooting for here but instead of going to a state school, it will be private. I never thought I would consider attending another private school but God had different plans.

Most private school take the application process of college very seriously. I knew that I wouldn't hear back for weeks, maybe even a month or two. Once again, God knew. Two days after applying, I was accepted. Doors didn't stop opening there.

After telling my family and a few friends, a very close couple in Maryland opened their house to me. God kept opening doors to me and he made it clear that it was my job to go through them. Not only am I extremely excited to be going back to Maryland for the summer but I am excited to be moving there and starting a new adventure. I ask that you pray for my family and I these next few months and we start to embark on this journey and with all the changes that will be happening. I also ask that you ready the hearts of the family in Maryland that has opened their house to me. I am so grateful for this opportunity. It will be a huge change to move 1,233 miles from home but I'm not alone in this move.

God will be there every step of the way. Ecclesiastes 3:1-7 says, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together." Please join in me for praying for this adventure.
