As you can see, I made my first post a long time ago and haven't made one since. I found out recently that I was accepted for an internship with Campus Christian Fellowship at East Carolina University, and I want to share this journey. And this not because my writing is that good, or my faith is so strong. But I want you to pray with me. I want you to see what God is doing. I want to reach outside my campus to inspire others to action--to live a life worthy of our calling.
This is not where I imagined myself being after graduating. Like most people, I wanted a "real job." But as I have grown over the past few years, I realize that ministering to God's children is the best job one could ever have. I get to pour into students, help them, learn from them, and trust God as He uses me to expand His Kingdom. This is our calling, no matter what we do from 8 to 5.
The idea of "treading the heights" comes from my favorite OT book, Habakkuk. As the prophet gives his worries to the Father, God whispers through his answer: "I've got this." It is the God-given peace that surpasses all understanding that elicits Habakkuk's final words:
"The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights."
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights."
May we be surefooted in our faith, able to tread the heights of God's marvelous plans.
And so it begins...again. Thank you for your love and prayers. Keep me posted on your lives and ministries as well.
Looking forward to The Day,
Beth
I'm excited for you in the journey life is about to take you on...or rather, God is about to take you on. I am so excited to share another year with you as your help minister...and I'm excited to see you grow as a wife to Kasey, a sister to new students, and a friend =)
