Its all about faith!

Another pressing issue God was putting on my heart is the issue of Faith. Do I trust the Lord enough to take this huge risk? Am I even ready to take such a risk?

I have put in so many resumes all across the United States, I have considered the military, and nothing has happened. I have held some pretty cool jobs in Fayetteville, but the market has changed and I need a change. I am ready for something new, something fresh, something challenging, something that will make me want to work.

But the issue here is, am I really ready to take this risk? Can I really pack up all my stuff and move 1000's of miles away to a completely different state, with no job and little money?

Yes, I can!

Funny thing about faith, its something you can't see but you know its there. Its something that lifts you off your feet and prepares you for the inevitable, no matter what it is. Also its a learning experience. And most importantly its chance to feel the awesome embrace of God. Its God's way of saying, "Its a surprise so don't worry, I got your back."

Hebrew 11:1 - What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.

God wanted me to step out in faith, with a plan though, but trust in him that I will not be abandoned. And he reminded me at 3AM one morning, in His scripture, why I should trust him when I do it, so my response is my prayer for this adventure.

Lord Jesus, you said if I have faith I can move mountains. (Matthew 21:21-22)
So Lord, I have a mountain I am ready to move.
Lord Jesus, you said if I have faith I can walk on water. (Matthew 14:28-29)
So Lord, I am ready to remove the boat beneath my feet.

These mountains I am about to move are my fears, jealousy, failures, pains, curses, and guilt I have felt over the years. And God was telling me step out in faith and I am going to remove those mountains blocking you.
God was telling me to get off my boat, get out of my house, remove myself and take a risk. Trust in him, walk on water. Don't be afraid of drowning.

Since then, I have no looked back. I am so excited for my trip and whats about to happen. I am stepping out in faith and taking this awesome risk.
