Do you say this? Have you heard this said by others? Have you thought about what this actually means? I've been thinking about it lately and am feeling really convicted that we need to recognize that God absolutely gives each one of us specific roles in the Kingdom and we do not in any way, shape or form need to fight for position, recognition or support when we are following Holy Spirit's lead. AND I believe we need to steward well the roles, rights and responsibilities He has given us. We need to act in integrity with the way He is leading us and we need to understand how to set and hold Godly boundaries so that what we are stewarding is increased and not stolen. When we have put those boundaries in place, it is time to trust God with the results. Seek counsel from others when we are feeling attacked by the enemy... "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

I feel like the ongoing theme and message from the Lord in my life for the past 3 years has repetitively been T R U S T! I have gotten so much better about it but sometimes He knows He has to remind me yet again! What has helped you learn to trust Him most? Or lean into trusting Him even when you can’t quite see yet or don’t have the clarity you desire &/or seek? Or when you feel like He is being quiet/not answering for whatever reason!? Bc I absolutely do think that there are seasons when He is more “quiet” than others bc His ways are indeed higher thus we will not always understand them all in this life! Yet He is also simultaneously working it all out for our highest and greatest good!

Commitment isn’t just for others—show up for yourself too! ✨✨🔑 How might this be a "wake up call" for you?

Hi friends! I’m a long time collaborator and friend of Angela’s who has benefited from hours upon hours of conversation and strategic thinking with her. This community is a manifestation of her heart and vision and it’s truly a blessing to see it coming to pass. I’ve been meditating on my names for a while now Maureen (a Gaelic form of Mary) and Elizabeth (which I only recently recognized as a Biblical reference). As much as I wanted more children, I am pretty sure I am destined to birth something unexpected and unlikely in the Kingdom. It will take a move of God as He has stripped me of any personal ability in this realm. Here’s what He has shown me: A retreat center to be built here in my rural community. There’s land here but the vision consists of constructing small dwellings to host visitors seeking the Lord, as well as a central space for worship, community, fellowship, and food. I saw this years ago and put together a presentation, visited some land, approached some potential board members, etc, and nothing came to fruition. It was disheartening and disillusioning and I laid it down, like a self-fulfilling prophecy that “we will forget” (what God was trying to teach us) once the pandemic ended. I had felt an urgency about the vision, that it needed to happen so that God could be personally and intimately found in this crazy world. I had a sense that a remnant was being created and called to stay fixed on His direction for our future. I had found some supporters but it wasn’t the appointed time and ultimately I… forgot. I became doubtful and laid it down. A few weeks ago with the birthing of this community I asked God what He wanted me to do. He brought this vision back to my mind, and as I revisited each element of it, I found it intact, being confirmed piece by piece. Yes, it’s still to have little cabins named for the fruit of the spirit. Yes, it’s still to have a communal worship space, yes it’s still to be called Psalms 46:10 Ministries. Yes, it’s still to be here locally. I just DON’T KNOW HOW.

Just want to let everyone know that I typically will not spend a lot of time here on Sundays. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but this place is so fun it can get addictive! I’ve been convicted that I need to do things differently; that we are in a culture war and are called to be counter-cultural…to be IN the world but not OF it. This has been confirmed multiple times. So in that spirit, I want to set the standard, which means that Sundays are a day of rest and connection for our family. Your day of rest may be Saturday…or Wednesday. Whatever it may be, enjoy the big beautiful world around you and disconnect from your devices! For now…Something fun for you! I’ve been challenged to select a “theme song” for this community. I’m taking nominations this week, so drop your favorite beat and we’ll vote on it! Blessings!
