• Ministry thinking Complete for Now

    This week started out slow but picked up speed until today. I had been looking for words. Ones that would impact and ones that I too can relate too.

    I am not much of a word person but the Lord has taught me over the past couple of months that the more I practice saying words the more I will master their use and meaning in my life.

    Over the last year the word “leadership” and “Christian Living” have been my go to words yet there was still something missing. One word or maybe two.

    I created my courses and did my lives but I still knew something was missing. Something that would give me peace in my musing and teaching.

    The last word came last Thursday and the other one came about 30 days ago. They are “Aspiring” and “Everyday”.

    My thinking is complete.

    My message is for women called into leadership but have not yet realized their full potential as a leader.

    My message is about “Everyday Christian Living”. In your social life, your family life, your financial life, your personal health, personal growth and your works. All under the worship of the Lord.

    I thought those words where missing but I now know that I was not ready to have them yet.

  • The Musings about Knowing what I Know

    It has been just over the past three months that Jesus has helped me to clarify how to articulate that ministry He has been preparing my life for.

    Have you ever been so unenlightened about His path for you?

    I wanna call it confused but Jesus is not the author of confusion so I cannot. It is just a matter of not knowing or having the correct words to use to say what I know I already know.

    I have known that I am gifted to teach, speak and make clear the life lessons found in the Bible. BUT can I articulate that in one little sentence or phrase that says it all. I have not been able too for many years until just recently.

    I have known that I would live my whole life in ministry to Jesus whether it is talking to family, a complete stranger or my boss. It was only at the beginning that I did it without any fear. (When you do it without fear it usually turns out bad.)

    The Beginning of Musing

    My beginning was rocky and hard to follow because I needed to get to a place where I was actually walking in ministry to Jesus. I needed to be trained in everything from morning routines to money management, from goal setting to boundary defending, from how I thought about myself to how I thought about others.

    All of that training put me in position to live in my ministry to Jesus. It all started with understanding that the more I knew Jesus the more I began to know about who I am.

    This is a small part of the journey I will never regret and will never forget because it had a profound impact on who I thought I was.  

    I was that small tree I kept seeing on my path to my “City on the Hill” (my vision from God).
