I have had an interesting week. I began on Sunday by finding out that I am going to be an auntie!! Wow – I am so excited. Scott and Maggie will have a little one coming in January 2008. Yeah! I am quite sad that I will miss the pregnancy, but have requested that they take many photos!
On another note, I have been struggling a bit with God’s purpose for me here and His purpose for my life, in general. ☺ I know that God is using me in different areas here, but I want more! I want more challenges, more responsibility, more growth, more of Him.
I am working on a possibility for women’s ministry here and would appreciate prayer in this. I don’t know what God is going to do here or if He is going to open this door. I also want more challenge and responsibility with the youth group. We have an amazing youth group and I am excited to see God working in it and to see what He is going to continue to do here.
For the majority of the week, I was trying to be in control of my life… I don’t recommend it, it’s way to stressful. I have so many unanswered questions and unanswered possibilities.
As I was reading my Bible Friday morning, I came across Romans 11:29, which states, “for God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.” The American Heritage Dictionary defines irrevocable as “impossible to retract or revoke”. I was blown away by this – there is nothing that we can do to mess up or retract or revoke what God has for us… His call and His gifts for each of us are irrevocable. How amazing… how encouraging… how relieving!
