God is so good! Anyone?
Lately I have been thinking about all the things that I have been able to do in my life and all the people I’ve had opportunity to work with and I realize that I am so blessed. This thought really humbles me. God has placed some incredible people in my life and who am I?
Recently I went through the process of becoming an Ordained Minister with the Assemblies of God. As I was interviewing with the committee at the Arizona District Office I realized how blessed I am to work under the leadership that I have. The Arizona District has leaders who really care about ministers and what we are involved in. We have a leader who is so passionate about world missions! I love that I am working for a leader who is invested and proud of what I am doing.
I also think about the team of people that I am privileged to work with through this Bridge project. God has placed amazing people beside me to help me, to teach me, to grow with me. I’m so blessed by relationships that have already formed and I am so excited to form new friendships and partnerships over the next few years.
In Exodus 17, there is a story about the Israelites facing the Amelikite army in battle. Moses was the leader of the people, but God brought others beside him to uphold him and partner with him.
“As long as Moses held up the staff in His hand, the Israelites had the advantage. But whenever he dropped his hand, the Amalekites gained the advantage. Moses’ arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset.” Ex 17:11-12
God sent people alongside of Moses to hold his arms up in battle. I am humbled by the people who have stood by me, both in time of war and in time of peace; people who have held up my arms in battle, and people who have chosen to walk and grow and work alongside of me.
