Recalculating Route

The GPS (God’s Positioning System) strikes again. As I wrote about in my first blog post here (April 2009: Isaiah Speaks GPS), the words “recalculating route” coming out of my little directional device this week sounded like a personal message from God to me. This past Monday I began work in my new role as Executive Director of Love, INC. Lake County Southwest (a new affiliate of the national ministry organization Love, INC. INC by the way, stands for “In the Name of Christ”). And as I tried to find the office where I would work on my first day, I once more needed the help of my GPS.

As has happened so many times, I took a wrong turn and needed help to get back on track to my destination. And hearing the words, “recalculating route” from the GPS reminded me that God is continually directing and redirecting my steps. Last spring when I felt God leading me to leave my church staff role, He told me little more than, “It’s time to go. I’m done using you in this assignment.” He also said, “I’m preparing another assignment for you. I’ll let you know when you can begin.”

I’m so blessed to say that I believe God has redirected my route again, as only He can do. (I’ll tell the story of how God lined this all up another time.) But for today, I can only say that I’m incredibly thankful that He shined His light at my feet and brought me to this ministry, which I believe is the next assignment for me. My prayer now is that God will use me in any way He sees fit to help churches in our area work together to spread His love, in the name of Christ! Will you pray with me? Thanks!
