I preached yesterday morning! I love when I have the opportunity to study and share God’s word. It was the most comfortable I have ever been in the pulpit. The words just came to me and the message was truly on my heart. I preached on Matthew 5:13-16….being the salt of the earth and light of the world. I truly felt God’s arms around me as I delivered the message. I just feel transformed when I preach.
This sermon helped me come to a realization. Something I hadn’t been able to “admit” out loud. Now that I’ve started Seminary, I feel like I am being called to become a Deacon in the church. I want to serve a community and especially be involved in the ministry of women. There. I’ve said it.
I never dreamed my life would be what it is right now. Being the wife of a preacher in a small town, working for the healthcare industry, and being a seminary student. I was “supposed” to teach middle school band until I retired! So I thought!
When we make plans God just gets a great belly laugh, don’t you think?
I’m so glad my “plans” have changed.

1. Dinner in Santa Fe
