I lived in the central valley of California when I learned about Celebrate Recovery and Spiritual Formation counseling in Irving, TX.
Could God have grown me in the Central Valley of CA? You betcha! He did. In a million ways.
You know in the story of Abraham. God called Abraham to leave his home and family and travel somewhere else that God promised to show him. But Abraham didn’t leave his homeland one day and arrive at the new place the next. It was a journey of years. It was a journey of discovery and growth and mistakes and learning just how faithful God is.
God is good and powerful and he can work where ever and with whatever I have. I don’t need a specific set of parameters. I don’t need to hear sermons from super holy Bible scholars exclusively or be among spiritual giant, older women to grow. God can grow me right where I am. Regardless of the depth and meatiness of the sermons I hear. Or the spiritual maturity of the older women I spend time with.
Him growing me has nothing to do with any of that.
But sometimes He calls me to go on a journey. To leave where I’m standing and go to another place that he wants to show me.
Four and a half years ago, He did just that.
I’m feeling the stirring in my heart of another journey that He’s taking me on. Maybe not a physical one, but definitely a spiritual one. A fun one. A miracle one.
I can’t wait to see the place He wants to show me.
