I know that I will be away with a bunch of teens and Ash, and I love them all. We will have some rest time and some quiet time and fun time and crazy time, but what I really need is some me time. I want to be so immersed in God and His heart that I discover my passion once again.
It was two years ago that God dropped the Boaz vision into my heart. As I sat in that prophetic prayer tent and heard the words, "God has told me you are to be a father to the fatherless", it changed my life. I had no choice but to follow thru on those words and the subsequent vision he gave.
Today I have found myself evaluating where the Boaz ministry is, two years after the vision. In some ways I feel like we are doing good:
- Three great staff (Ash, Drew and Jenna)
- Being the father to the fatherless with an amazing family of Love's
- God's provision for the ministry
- Drop in every Friday night
- A move afoot in the area of mentoring the fatherless
In some ways we need to be much further ahead:
- Financially we are stuck and not moving forward
- We have not really expanded into the "hurting" teens we are looking for
- We have a home that fits our ministry desires, but not the resources yet to purchase it
- I need to be a much stronger leader and visionary
- Orphaned children are a global issue, we need to be involved missionally to meet their needs
I am asking God to fill me up this week with His anointing. I am looking for a Word from the Lord, I am looking forward to being in the Word and I just purchased two books on leadership to help me get focused.
What drives me is hurting children and teens!!! I want to be filled with compassion and take this ministry to another level. I want to be an effective leader and clearly see His hand leading me!
