God told Abraham to go to a land He would show him.  There were not a lot of details given along the way.  Abraham had to go on faith, trusting that God would guide him each step of the way, often only revealing a step at a time.

Exactly one year ago, I felt a calling like Abraham.  I was at Gulf Coast Getaway, a campus ministry conference in Panama City Beach, Florida, in attendance with a large group of our LSU students and about 1,500 other college students.  Sunday morning, there was a Taizè service (meditative and contemplative worship).  During this service, I was able to quiet all the other noise and focus on talking with and listening to God.

It became clear that in order to do things right and give this new idea God had planted in my heart a chance, I needed to step forward on faith and dedicate myself to Iron Rose Sister Ministries full-time.

Walking back across the bridge to the hotel later that night, I told my friend and coworker, Robin Gough, about my decision.  We had spent many hours in prayer and conversation seeking God's guidance for each other's lives and the LSU Campus Ministry.  I will never forget his response.  "You know how everyone was offered the opportunity to go and lay something at the foot of the cross in prayer?  I prayed for God to give you clarity.  Sounds like He answered that prayer."

I thank God for that clarity, for the loving and prayerful support of others, and for the opportunity to be a part of a leap of faith such as this is.  Thanks for joining me and so many other women on this journey!

I just finished preparing class in chapter 1!  Verse of encouragement, my Mom's favorite verse.   "Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness." Who doesn’t want to be in splendor?  Love you.  Thanks for sharing these studies with us!
