I want to thank those who prayed for my speaking engagement on Saturday. God showed up in a mighty way. The women who put this luncheon together did a fabulous job, going above and beyond what was expected. I felt the prayers as I was going up to speak and God (at least for me) showed up in a mighty way. That day was an emotional rush I have not felt in a long time. I don’t know where God is going to lead, but I am going to let HIM lead and I will follow. I get in trouble when I try to lead.
My poor Mom said, “I am not sure I can handle this, I was pacing and on my knees all morning.” Ha! How I love and adore my biggest cheerleader. I knew even if no one liked what I said, Mom would be proud. Thanks Mom. (she was unable to attend because of living on the opposite side of the US)
I always joke about how God loves to show off and for me on Saturday he did. I prayed he would carry me, I prayed His word would be spoken and it did. What I did not plan on was the emotional high I had all day long. The high of feeling of awe and being humbled God could use a girl like me.
Really I am nothing special (please know I say that with no pride), I don’t sing well, I don’t organize well, I am not the best of friend to have unless you are blunt. Sometimes I don’t see a need until it is in front of my face (hmm maybe this is why the Lord gave me all boys, J). I have prayed that the Lord would give me the insight to know where there is a need, so I could do it without someone asking for help. Unfortunately he did not give me this spiritual insight. Heck, I was so excited to know there was a need (of ironing) for a friend of mine who is soon to be married.
Ug there are so many so much wiser and better than me. The women who organized the luncheon, who decorated, who planned…they are my heroes. They are what make a church function.
Well God did decide to use this insecure girl and blew her socks off.
I tell you this to encourage you. If you don’t feel like you have any talents or you lack the “cool” spiritual gifts, I am here to tell you GOD WANTS TO USE YOU. Not just use you, but blow your mind.
Are you willing to say “yes” to God’s will for your life?
