The Beginning....


Christopher Columbus Said, "You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore".  Stepping down from my 5-1/2 year position as Bible Study Coordinator for Revival Christian Fellowship, letting go of doing what I have been doing for over 20 years in total, to do something new and unsure was for me an act of faith.

It has been a long time dream of mine to write books which reflect my teaching style in order to minister, challenge, and encourage others to pursue hard after the Lord.  But, I would certainly not take on this endeavor without the Lord’s definite leading.  A real stirring for writing and beginning the work began to build in my heart over a year ago. It felt as though the Lord were cornering me with the challenge to BELIEVE in the unseen; the work of His Spirit to accomplish the impossible.  He can do what is impossible if He wills.  All I have to do is let go and let Him.   

Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

I will document some of the steps that have brought me to where I am now with an upstart ministry called upWORD Call Ministries and share what the Lord is doing currently as well.  But, my greatest desire for this blog is to provide short, inspiring, biblical devotions which include practical helps all in my straight shooting style.  After all, being a Christian it is an upward climb and we all need a leg up from time to time!  I pray the devotions will be that for many of you.
 

Until next time…
Keep moving upWORD!
