quiet surprises
Today has been everything I never imagined. God will never cease to surprise me.
The call to serve him has been a burden on my heart for several months now. Today is the first day, though, that I acknowledged the possibility that it might be real. Suddenly it's not so scary to imagine living away from home. It's still scary! Just not AS scary! :)
My parents are... well, they're open to the possibility. That makes me feel better about it.
Tonight I told my church about this burden at our Bible Study. They are not only open to it, but they are praying with me. It feels so much better to know I have the support of my entire family in pursuing this.
The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai: "Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me."
Jonah 1:1-2
Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time: "Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you."
Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very important city - a visit required three days.
Jonah 3:1-3
When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened.
Jonah 3:10
