Last week I was humbled to the point of many tears beginning Wednesday night. This conviction came with overwhelming emotions, and it began with me having a poor attitude with one of my youth girls. I felt overwhelmed with great purpose of my kids Thursday came extreme conviction (from God) mixed with guilt (not from God) because I felt as if I was letting God down. Definitely not following His plan for this ministry, and not seeking after His specific will for my life. Emotions were able to calm down a little Thursday throughout the day and evening. Kat and I hung out, watched movies, looked at old family albums, and she cooked me dinner. Friday was amazing because a wonderful mom, Sarah, spent 2 hours pouring truth into my life. After 2 hours of talking, Sarah and I came up with a plan to help me battle these lies and discouragement in my life. After resting for the weekend I feel better about so many things in my life!!!!
Can I be honest?
- Ministry has challenged me more than I have ever been challenged in my entire walk with Christ.
- I have never been more busy with serving Christ!
- Being stretched and grown in my faith is difficult at times, but I enjoy learning/teaching specific truths of God to my youth kids.
- I have never felt more purpose to my service in many different areas.
- Finally, I know that I am extremely Blessed to be apart of a wonderful, God-fearing church whose families have taught me more about serving Christ in these past 4 years than I have learned in serving Him since I was 7.
This is the verse I clung to after speaking with Sarah:
"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:58
