So another school year has begun and I sit now looking back over the past few months and am truly and utterly amazed at all that has happened!
IT has been a month since I last blogged and during that time I have been learning to just enjoy life again.
I honestly am enjoying it - are there hard times -sure. No one has a perfect life.. but I am learning to appropriate more and more what it means to be one in Christ.
To know Him more and more intimately - to enjoy the little things like getting up early to drive kids to their new bus stops - it is an awesome time of the day to be with them and be sure to send them off on their day with a good word or prayer.
I have back at EBC for my second year and God is going to do some amazing things there this year!
How many of us actually know Jesus the way we want to know Him? I would suggest that you may be happy and content BUT DONT STAY THERE .. there is alwaysmore you can know .. there is always another step of intimacy... there is possibly that one part of life ( big or small) that you may still be keeping Him out of and handling that on your own as you think that He is not interested. OH that is not so my friend!
Part of my time this summer I have spent in conversations with my Pastor , trying to figure out where my gifting is leading me, where in my home church can it be used and further more, what is Father saying to me about my gifting.
If I was a man, that would be much simplier to answer.. most people in the church would be "come on then lets start walking along side you and raising you up to be a godly leader in this church" - but as a woman, there are differences - so what does that look like? hmm not sure yet.. but if you are reading this you can join me in praying that thru!
I completed a field ed placement this summer at Christian Horizons and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I loved it so much and currently praying how to be used within this ministry now.
I need to run, but I wanted to take the time to catch up and reflect on a few things...
Til next time
Jacqueline
