So...i have never blogged before and only recently started reading the other blogs posted. I must say I am a little nervous for the first one, but it has been awesome to see everyone's honesty and transparency through these blogs!! I am so excited to be a part of the women's ministry and see what God has planned for me, but have also been a little intimidated, mostly just doubting where I will fit in, if I am equipped or worthy for God to use me. While studying this week about Jehovah-jireh, The Lord will Provide, I felt like I wanted to share with you how God has provided for me! A few weeks ago, after the first women's leadership meeting, these yucky feelings started creeping in, doubt, worry, fear... The next day as I opened my devotion for the day, Jehovah-jirah provided for me the assurance that I needed!! As I read the devotion, my eyes started filling up with tears at how awesome our Lord is. It was titled, "When God calls a Woman" and it talked about how God chooses us for His service and when he calls us He also equips us. I realized the feelings I was having were feelings of selfishness and that all I need to do was trust the Lord for His guidance. If you want to read the devotion, I put a link below. I am so thankful that we serve a merciful God who promises He will provide for us!!
So, the first blog was not so bad, it's nice to go ahead and get this one out of the way!!
