“Well, no, this couldn’t be from God, that’s definitely not it. You sure are lucky, though.” Words from a relative that sting as we share that God sent a work team to help us build cabin #2!

“We just think your vision is too big and you are doing too many things. We can’t financially get behind you at this time.” Words from a church board member we attended for 15+ years.

Sometimes the people who know you and love you, just DON’T GET IT!

It’s painful.

It’s awful.

In your worst moments it makes you question all the aspects of ministry you know God has led you to walk out.

But I encourage you (and me somedays) to remember:

• Some people understand what you are doing instantly. 
• Some people will come alongside you at different points in your journey. 
• Some people are called to support other people’s vision. 
• God called lots of His people to do radical things.
• Gideon, David, Noah and Abraham were all called to do big things, go far away places and I’m betting many people didn’t get it and we KNOW many people didn’t follow!

So, go ahead and be a Kingdom builder.

Be a disciple of Jesus Christ who makes disciples who make disciples.

Obey God’s Word. 

Be Transformed. 

The gate is narrow! Stay on your path!! If you are encouraging people in the Lord and walking in a manner worthy of the calling, then you have it right. Not everyone will understand and not everyone will go with you!! 

Go Anyway!
