On this morning in 2023, we were gearing up for a very big possible opportunity for the ministry. We asked for you to pray that God\u2018s will be done. That way we don\u2019t put on personal desires in front of what God has planned for us. Whether or not the opportunity would go our way or not, that was not first and foremost. God\u2018s will was and is always the primary focus. As it played out that day, it was obvious that God\u2019s will was for another opportunity to come our way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Basically, 20 acres of land went up for auction. It was straight north of, what at that time was, the Hettinger Farmhouse. Which was our homebase for local events. So it was appealing for Charlie 22 Outdoors to consider because of location. Another factor, is that it was primarily timber. A great place for us to build a larger facility for our needs. Because we are to the point now we need a facility where we can house everyone under the same roof. Currently, we are using our new farmhouse, sleeping, shacks, and travel trailers. And that is fine for what it serves. But we know we can serve our guests better with a larger building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We went into the auction with a plan in place. But it didn\u2019t go our way. And that is fine. I told our president on the way there, I was at peace either way. And that\u2019s because if God\u2018s will was for us to have the property, we would have it. If God\u2018s will was for us to not have the property, we would not have it. To say there wasn\u2019t a minute of disappointment would be a lie. Because there was. That was the human part of me. The excitement of what was taking place ended with a let down. But that was short-lived. Because\u2026I realized very quickly that God has other plans for us. We put the word out several months ago that we are looking for 5-20 acres for the ministry. We have grown to the point that we need that. God has provided everything that we have needed. And he will continue to. So we know that the right property is coming. That door closed, because something better is coming our way. And we fully believe that. So today, let\u2019s remember this, God will do things for us in his own time. He will see things through for us if we put him first in what we are doing. And that\u2019s exactly what happened. So please keep praying. Praying for God\u2019s will. And let\u2019s remember that God\u2019s will was for us to stop and take a minute. Because he\u2019s preparing us for something different. And it will be glorious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
