I knew I loved Blacksburg but it's nice to hear that I'm not in this beautiful place by coincidence. I'm here at this time in this place for a purpose.
For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise form another place but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for SUCH A TIME AS THIS. Esther 4:14
I am so blessed to be a part of Northstar and to hear Jeff Noble give this message this morning. August is such a special time in our town. We go from being a small community of eclectically different people to a full-blown college town. I love it. And what an opportunity to serve.
It is hard being away from family, that is no secret. But I have felt in my bones for the past year that Drew and I belong here. God has placed us here for such a time as this. I'm excited to be in Blacksburg for the changes that take place in our town through the month of August and hope that Drew and I can use all that we have been blessed with to help others.
God has sovereignly placed us in this place for His glory. As Jeff said this morning there is unprecedented opportunity to reach such a large group of students in the coming weeks. And my hope is that as a church we could do just that. Northstar has been such a blessing to us and I hope that we can step outside of it and now be the church. As is our mantra.
Oh and here's another big reason to love this town in the coming months:
I'm counting down the days until football season.
Thanks for sharing. It was a huge encouragement to hear how the Lord used the message. We are so grateful that you and Drew are here and now. ;)
