Building on a new Foundation

It is Sat. morning and I woke up with that pit of the stomach feeling - like "what are we doing!" This journey is off to a emotional start. I never thought it would be this difficult. I was reading in Romans 15 this morning a passage that has been coming to my attention several times. Paul says "For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed., in the power of signs and wonder , in the power of the Spirit: so that form Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named that I might not build upon another man's foundation ; but as it is written "they who had no news of him shall see and they who have not heard shall understand."

This morning as I begin this new journey I want to be like Paul. I want to tell others of the things He has done in my life. I want the power of the Spirit not for myself, but so others can see we serve a powerful God. I like Paul want to build on a new foundation. In America it is hard to find a place where we have not heard the gospel. We can however find a place where there seems to be a void of some kind. I hope we have found that in Blacksburg. I also hope for you whose journey is more planted, that you like Paul will see the Lord's call on your life and find a place to build on a new foundation and tell others of all Christ has done in your life.
