Branded With Love

Fridays are Daughter/Daddy day and we always do something fun together. Last Friday we came home early to surprise mom. We’re total rockstars if you couldn’t tell!

That boy doesn’t know whose daughter he’s messin’ with!? Grrrrrrr!

Chloe- First Laugh, Ends with Tears from Jason Bedell on Vimeo.

I was making Chloe laugh while goofing around off camera. I apparently pushed my luck and brought on the tears. Whoops.

I’m 29 and it’s time to party! (or work until 4, go to small group, sleep in, then go see the finalists of Last Comic Standing tomorrow night).

God answers with this one constantly.
I pray for discernment:
WAIT.
Pray for clarity:
WAIT.
Pray for God to move in my time frame:
WAIT.

Well, God’s vocab just lost a word with me: WAIT.
He exchanged it for a new word recently: NOW.

The shift from “wait to now” scares many leaders (it scares me). We want and desire to be, move, breathe, lead and conquer the world in Jesus name, but when God opens the door and commands us to do it, AND DO IT NOW… (insert deer in headlights face and the need to change my pants here).

But God is calling the Bedell Family into many new things and the time to move He says is NOW. So…
- My wife finds out some important teacher news in the next week or two
- The move to my in-laws to help my wife’s mother happens Oct 12
- We’re down sizing our lifestyle to help those in need (and I am struggling with my attitude in it)
- God’s call to leadership growth in me is moving (FAST) and I’m scared to death
- I’ve been asking for prayer via twitter & this blog on some personal choices for the future of our family and our ministry together. Thanks for that and more news is coming very soon.

And so a question for you guys (and gals), “What is God telling you to do NOW? Are you responding? Why or why not”
