There has been plenty of things going through my mind for the last several weeks.  Since having Isaac, Rachel really has had the desire to be home with him and help me with mission stuff.  I've been doing everything I can to see how we could make that happen. 

We have a friend who ownes a t-shirt company and we have been discussing options of taking it over.  I thought what a great opportunity.  We could start selling t-shirts to people we know, work with AIM full time and print t-shirts in the evening.  Rachel has asked how I felt about and I felt good about the whole process. 

But then I started feeling wierd about it.  It was as if I felt like I was stepping away from what God was actually calling me to do.  I went into my office and began to pray, asking the Lord what in the world He wants me to do.  Then I read Psalm 16:5,6. 

"Lord, you have assigned me
my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.  The
boundary lines have fallen
for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance."

For me that was a total God thing.  It was a revelation.   My portion and my boundries right now are two fold: Adventures In Missions and Missions at Bridgway (our home church).  The Lord has asked me to focus right now on the items within my boundaries. My plate is currently full, which means that my portions can't get bigger.  Don't get me wrong, I could still do t-shirts, but only if they fit within the boundaries of what God has called me to do.  For example, I will still be selling shirts and giving them to my friend to print.  I still get some commision off those and I'm still within my area of ministry. 

One thing I've learned this week is to stay true to what God has called us to do.  Don't try to go over that calling.  If you do, headache awaits.
