These past few months God has stretched my faith and called me to step out. When I began this ministry almost a year ago, I was working on staff at a church and loved my team. I never imagined going full-time with Krista Michelle Ministries until years down the road. Then this spring God opened a door to leave where I was and walk in faith with the ministry.
The months leading up to me sharing with my team and students that I would be leaving were a walk of faith all by themselves. From the moment I said “yes” to God, Satan was on the attack with “what ifs.” Every day I had to block the “what ifs” with “what now God” and follow His lead. It wasn’t just the “what ifs” that caused questions. There were so many God moments in the lives of my students and things that bonded our team closer together that caused me to wonder if this was really what God wanted. There was revival breaking out in the hearts of my students and God was asking me to walk away to something else. It was so hard to understand.
As I stepped out in faith at the end of this summer, the ministry didn’t suddenly take off, and even now it is a slow process. There have already been many ups and downs these past two months. Nothing has quite gone as I thought it would as I started out. There have been many moments of questioning and not understanding what God was doing. But I have made the choice to keep walking in faith because I know it is what I am called to do.
Through all the months, there is one thing that I have been reminded of as I am walking this faith journey…I won’t always understand what God is doing. That is not what faith is about. It is about stepping out when I don’t understand and trusting God. It is about remembering how He has been faithful in the past and claiming that faithfulness in the present. It is about focusing my mind on Him knowing that in the end, everything is all for the glory of His name.
