Have you ever sat and thought what if I did this, how would it work out? You really pump yourself up and think of all the good things you could achieve by doing so. Jessica asked me to do Kid's Club, I was like yes I am going to rock at this. It started out with 7 children then we lost 4 due to spring activities. Even though I knew why, I still couldn't help but feel defeated like why? God you want me here but I am running them off. I stuck in there though and our club grew to over 50 kids within three years. It was amazing. But burnout and illness derailed that..
Then with changes in church we went through, I drifted again. Wondering what was God calling me to do would never come to fruition. I let the Devil get in my head and drag me to the depths of despair and anger. It was a real tug of war in my heart with God pulling one way and the Devil pulling the other. Happily God won that struggle. I returned with a new vigour to help spread his word. So when I contemplated writing a blog for our church, I struggled with fear again. Who would really want to know what runs through my brain? I am not fluent in the Bible, I am still learning. I don't want to say the wrong thing or interpret the Bible to my understanding.
Then I published my first blog. The feeling of I did it overcoming my fear of the what ifs. So I ask you what is holding you back from doing what you feel God is asking you to do? Just remember that God is thankful for how you share him as long as it is done in faith and love.
Colossians 2:6-10 (NIV)
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world rather than on Christ.
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.
Yours in Christ
