What's Next?

Yesterday I returned from Spring Break...and with my return I am committed to getting year 2 of my blog back to (somewhat) regularly scheduled programming.

This past week as I took out some down time I prayed about the future of NewLife. I found myself thinking a lot about finding a way for us to move forward together. I've been praying about it. I've written thoughts in my journal. I've begged God to show us the way. I want to know the way.

I long for the faith and courage to step through any door God opens for our future. I can see it. I want it. God invites us to another step together and I'm ready.
How about you?

I was reminded of an old movie quote from The Matrix, when Morpheus said, "Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path."

I wonder if I need to find the door, or if I know where it is already. Maybe the time for searching is past. Maybe the time for action is here.
Could that be?

Could we be standing on the threshold, hand-in-hand with God, ready to take our next steps together?
I believe so.

We're stepping together into God's purposes. Let's stay close. Let's watch out for one another, love each other and help each other along the way. Whatever is on the other side of the door, God is with us.

Terica and I are ready. We're with you.

The door is opening. Let's go.

Then I looked, and, oh!—a door open into Heaven. The trumpet-voice, the first voice in my vision, called out, "Ascend and enter. I'll show you what happens next." I was caught up at once in deep worship ... - Revelation 4:1-2
