This blog is going to be about my newest risk taking adventure yet here in Arkansas. However before i blog there I have a few request for those of you who read this. Please Please under no circumstance leave some kind of comment saying..or even coming close to saying something of the following.."I'm so glad you've finally come around."
The reason for this is because of the fact that this is indeed the perfect timing for me to even commit to such an adventure. I needed to battle with God, i needed to have time to adjust, time to be genuinely frustrated with circumstances, I needed to have late night conversations and I don't know questions for God. So, the way that I see it is I haven't "Finally decided to come around" to God's plan but God has flipped over the next puzzle peice for me to see and has allowed me the time to find beauty in it.
Now, on with my adventure..I've decided that I will do the children's ministry at Vintage. There are a couple of reasons why..1. God is doing something great in the hearts of Vintagites here in Arkansas. 2. I've been given the priveledge of watching others learn hard lessons that i've learned and continously keep learning. 3. I want others to know God the way that i know him. To love God in a way they haven't been able to love him before and i'm apart of that resource of being apart of that picture for their lives.
I don't know how it will all turn out, but i know that God did not have me work at BaYouca for 3 summers for no reason and i know that God did not have me do the childrens program for family camp last summer for no reason..I am here for a purpose and if all that is because God wants to teach someone something about himself and i'm able to free up her mind then I want to be apart of it.
I've learned that my purpose in life isn't going to be to stand up in front of a crowd and be admire by thousands but God is making my prayers of what i've always wanted to do- which is to help people, to offer hope and relief when none is insight-come true.
I love Jesus thats what life is about..I get to live out the gospel.
Amen!

Well Many times I've said..I will do EVERYTHING for you God..just not THAT...and He says..>"but daughter..I have OTHERS to do Everything..I NEED this specific that only YOU can do". ...and I rebel...then try and do EVERYTHING I"m not supposed to be doing...and am unhappy..then FINALLY just DO the ONE thing...He requested....and "Joy follows the morning".
Kewl.
Lucky little devil children getting taught by a Master!!
"I'm so glad you've finally come around."
I couldn't help myself.
=)
Rock on!! I will be praying for you!!!
So does anybody think its cool that i met Jeremy Camp? Anyone else other than me?
Well..if I knew who Jeremy Camp WAS..it would probably be cool.
jeremy camp...well, i'd be more excited for you if i actually liked his music. i'm not sure i do, though. i think he's weird. :P LOL
I'm happy for you, sarah, it must be a big relief to finally have a sense of what you need to do. I'm still sortof in that stage in my church of waiting for God to tell me what I'm supposed to do (besides setting up the sound system every week with luke). Mostly right now, I'm just trying to be one of those people that is an encouragement to the leaders of the church...I attend the prayer time every friday and just try to be a support and not ever be one of the critical ones who discourages the pastors.
i am excited to hear about your adventures!!
