Is it really that simple?

Cheryl and I know how important it is to get our story out there, so people can hear it and know that there is hope in seemingly hopeless situations.  God has shown us how useful it can be, and how people really want and need to hear it! 

So, we've been searching, and praying for it to be clear how to go about this.  A website?  A support group?  A bible study group?  Sunday school?  Some type of ministry?  We're just not sure.

The other night  I was sharing this with a friend, and he made a simple statement that very well may be true.  He said something to the effect of waiting for God to bring people to us.  Sharing where and when we can, like we've been doing, and just allowing God to urge people to ask, to come forward, to seek us out.  As you are probably aware, this has already been happening.  We've spoken to several people, and continue to!

Could it be that simple?  Could we already be involved in the ministry we've been searching for?  Could this be the way that we're supposed to be used? 

We already know that the song is out there, and who knows how many lives that has touched!  It could be changing people every day, for all we know!  And that came about simply because we shared our story with Matthew West, and it inspired him to write "Restored"!

I guess we sometimes try to overthink things and sometimes it causes us to miss what's already there!  We need to realize that all the planning and scheming in the world isn't going to further God's plan.  If it's meant to be out there...it will be out there, regardless of our efforts.  Not that we should just sit back and relax and forget about it, but just continue to be willing, and allow ourselves to be a part of it.

It continues to be an amazing journey!
