God Is Bigger Ministries: It's Official

Yes, once again, it has been forever since I have posted anything on here. If you follow the blog at all you probably see that it has been since our trip to Namibia since the last post. It has been a crazy few months. I'll admit, it hasn't been too crazy to sit down and blog every once in a while, I just haven't done it. But here we are!! Starting the year off right with a blog post to give a little update on what is going on with the ministry! If you are here reading this, you probably see that the name of this blog is God Is Bigger. You may also know that we have a song called God Is Bigger. You may also know that for about 5 years now, this phrase "God Is Bigger" along with Proverbs 3:5-6, have absolutely rocked my world, and still are. I have felt called for years now to start a ministry that will go alongside the ministry of the Chris Allen Band, and I have known for years that it would be called God Is Bigger Ministries! Let's just say for now, so I don't write a book here, that this is THE theme phrase/truth for my life and ministry. Well, with details to come later, I will say that it is official!! God Is Bigger Ministries is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization! Finally! Several visions and dreams for this ministry have come and gone in the past 5 years, none of which ended up being God's will or timing, but in the middle of the craziness of 2010, God gave me a vision for the future and showed me that 2011 be the year that the ministry gets launched! Praise God!!! There are a lot of things that are terrifying me at this point, a lot of things that I don't know how to do or where to start, and a lot of logistical mountains that seem insurmountable that God is going to have to get us over before we can even really start the ministry, but these are all reasons that the theme verse for the ministry is Proverbs 3:5-6. I will end this post by quoting it and saying that I really believe in my heart that the words of this text are the answer to everything, every time. I am not saying that it is easy, in fact I am saying that it is a fight. It is THE fight of the Christian life, and this ministry is going to be all about fleshing out this idea and calling students to pursue to know Christ in such a way that this becomes a reality for them and they start to live it out. It is the same thing I have to wake up and fight for everyday, and that is to Trust God above all else. No matter the feeling, circumstance or situation, we are called to glorify God by trusting Him. The issue is not whether or not God is worthy of our trust, He is!! The issue is us pursuing to know Him for who He really is. The more we know Him, the more we will trust Him. Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight Your paths." Worship God! Trust God! Rest in God!
