The other night a friend invited all the girls from AIM to come over to just hang out. God has put it on her heart to make a safe place for us to go and just be girls. It was great to all be together and not have any specific agenda. We had a time of prayer and the Lord spoke to me…

‘You are not to go to the Dominican Republic, but stay here.’

A couple of months ago when I decided that I was not going to go to Kenya in December I was offered the chance to go to the Dominican Republic for our January launch. There was no reason for me to turn it down, but again I wasn’t overly excited about it either. But I thought that was just because I had no idea what I would be responsible to do. So when the Lord spoke this to me I was surprised when there was a part of me that was disappointed. I will have spent all of 2008 in the United States. One of the reasons I took this position at AIM was because I would still be able to go out on the field and meet the teams, and here I am having turned down the two opportunities that they have given me.

I still don’t know why I feel like the Lord is asking me to stay in the States. I am sure I could come up with a million reasons. But the reality is that I must obey even if I am a bit disappointed. My prayer isn’t that I’ll get to go out next time, but rather that I would understand what the Lord is trying to say and do. I also pray that as I continue in the office that I will not be overwhelmed but have the peace and direction that I so desperately need.

  1. Ok Girl!! I will be praying for you as you continue to hear God’s voice. He will show why He wants you to stay here in the states! Just enjoy the ride 🙂

  2. What an answer to prayer! Seems that it wasn’t very long ago that you were praying for God to begin speaking to you again, because he had been quiet for awhile. PTL that you not only heard his voice, but that you’re willing to “stay put” until he directs your path. Be faithful and you will be blessed!

    I’m so excited to see you at the BreakThru conference next week! It is going to be an amazing week for me …

  3. Stay the course, God has you where he wants you, until he wants you somewhere else! God Bless Ya Casey, Danny (Dad)
