Cami is studying the books of Moses this year in Bible Study Fellowship. One of the many good materials they produce is the Home Discussion Guide, which we have been going through as a family after supper. We have had many good conversations and prayer times doing this together. Last week we talked about how Moses ran to Midian after he killed the Egyptian. He knew God had a plan for him, but he would not see it for forty years. During this time, he kept his father in law's sheep. Then, without warning God spoke to him through the burning bush and off he went to Egypt to deliver God's chosen people from bondage.
I realized that I am also living in my own Midian. I know that God has called and gifted me to serve Him in His church, but I am still waiting for the what, where, when, and how. In the mean time, God has placed me in the field of a junior high school as shepherd. I do not know what God has planned for me, but I am learning everyday to trust Him. He has put the desire to preach His Word and make disciples deep within my heart - It just won't go away. So, I pray that I will be ready when He speaks to me from a burning bush. That I will be willing to go wherever He sends and do whatever He says.
Make me know Your ways, O LORD;
Teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
For You I wait all the day.
Psalm 25:4-5
On the Path,
Russell

Keep patiently waiting, in the meantime, I am sure there are many who are grateful that you are waiting as a middle school teacher....being His light where He has you....Be strong in His might, share the Word creatively and be content til He moves you!
