Exciting Changes

Today has been a wonderful day that included a change in my life.

On my way to church this morning I talked to my dear friend Nina who has been one of 5 ladies in my life who has mentored me spiritually and encouraged me in my walk with the Lord. It was her birthday and I called to wish her Happy Birthday and we visited as I drove into Canyon (it takes about 30 minutes to get there). We were just catching up on life and she asked me about the church I go to which is First Baptist Church - Canyon. In our talk we visited about why I hadn't moved my letter from Wolfforth (where I went in Lubbock). I shared with her that it was because of Ceta Canyon. I know that sounds weird but camp keeps us so busy. Something I have struggled with since moving here is not being able to go to church regularly and that it is hard to commit to anything (Beth Moore Studies, different ministries, etc...) because of how our schedule changes and our hours are never the same. Nina was very understanding and it was good for me to process and think about why after 1 1/2 years of attending church in Canyon I hadn't made any decisions yet.

This morning our Pastor talked to us about our purpose in life and how the Lord places passions in our life for a reason and a purpose and it is to bring Him glory and provide us a way of ministry. As long as I can remember I have only known 3 things. I have always been lead to go into the mission field and I have always wanted to marry a godly man to serve the Lord with and the last it to be a wife/mother who can stay home and take care of my family. I have never wanted to do anything else. During our message today I was so encouraged because our pastor sharing with us to accept where the Lord has us and what He is calling us to.

After praying and seeking the Lord this evening at church I decided to move my letter of membership to Canyon. I am hoping and praying that opportunities will open up for ministry for me there and that the Lord will use me for His glory as I serve Him.
