Remnant.

Throughout the past month, and expecially the last three weeks or so, I have had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with the Lord reflecting on my life and what's really important. Friends, I can't even begin to explain to you how much He's shown me about myself, about Him and His amazingly, boundless love and about life in general. He's shown me my heart... including the aspects of it I tried to keep hidden and buried under the false premise of "having it all figured out"... it's been humbling to say the least. I've realized, again, that it's not all about ME! He's also covered me with peace that is so beyond my own comprehension. I promise, next week, to write a blog detailing what I've learned.

Just to give a snipet of good news, last night @ Remnant (a part of the young adult ministry @ the Rock church, that I have the privledge and honor to serve on the leadership team with) I was talking to Bobby, our pastor and he told he he'd like to put me as the "go-to" leader for all the new females joining the Remnant leadership team. I would basically contact them and tell them all about the ministry, explain how it works, go over our policies for Rock leadership and just overall love on them and find out where they are spiritually, pray for them and discuss their spiritual gifts in order to get them plugged into the appropriate team for Remnant. How AMAZING is that?! I think of this as another opportunity to step it up and be closer to where God wants me to be. This is a promotion in God's kingdom. Being part of the Remnant leadership has been such a blessing and I get teary eyed just thinking of how far it's come, how much it's growing and how much it's making an impact on the young, hurting, broken people who come... and building all of us up to the people God has called us to be. Anyway, Bobby and I are supposed to meet next week sometime so he can give me the run down on my new responsibilities. God truly, truly uses us in our weakness... the blog is coming where I put all the pieces together. I can now see how the things I'm learning (about being real with where I'm @, lifting people up, being humble, etc) relate to the plans God has for me... because He was preparing me for this leadership role that He knew was just around the bend... so others could see His love through my imperfections. Praise God!
