The first step of faith.

We don't always understand why God calls us when he does or why he calls us at all.  When I look back on my life I cannot see any reason why he would want us to go to anywhere but he does and it is time to be obedient.  The reason I call this blog "A foot in the Jordan" is because last time we were in Cheyenne the evangelist there was doing a series on faith. He was telling the story of Joshua having to lead the people across the Jordan river, which was flooded and raging, to get to the promised land.  God told him to have the priests put their foot on the river and it would pull back so they could cross.  That took alot of faith in somthing they did not understand. He didn't know us at the time and didn't really now that we were feeling called to Cheyanne but we were putting if off and putting it off. As he taught I had a overwelming peace and knew God was telling us it was time to go.  Of course my flesh was not wanting to listen and there was a nasty battle going on.  I was standing alone just trying to process it when I felt a arm go around my shoulder and a soft voice said "Sandee, it's time to put your foot in the Jordan."  I knew then that it was time to go.  It was time for blind faith.  It was time that we let God get everything in order and we just need to follow directions.  Is this easy? No, nothing is easy about leaving a home you love, your family, your grandbaby, but Tony said somthing to me that I hold on to.  He said, "If our children were living somewhere and were lost, wouldn't we pray for him to send someone to bring the gospel to them?" That is what we will be doing.  Hopefully we will be bringing the gospel to a loved one of someone who has been praying for years for their salvation.  We don't know whats coming, I don't have a job yet, we don't have a place of our own but we must put our foot in the Jordan and let him part the raging water.
