Blog thoughts

I’ve been praying about this blog for a while. It’s hard for me because I do have a lot of baggage from past groups that I’ve been a part of. Mainly because the leadership was chummy with some people and then completely ignored others. It didn’t matter how much I served or cared, I was rarely included. I would tell myself that if I ever led I would never make others feel less than. That they would ALL be invited to the table.  Since I still had that feeling of being less than, when I got into position to lead, those emotions followed. Before, I wasnt cool enough to be a part of the group and now it felt like I wasn’t cool enough to lead. Why would anyone listen to me? What could I possibly even say that might encourage or cause someone to reflect and grow with God? I pushed through it and started creating Bible Studies again. Reading the Word and digging in. Opening up and sharing stories. You want to know something? It’s not that we can come up with some profound statement or research something that’s never been known before. It’s about showing up. Putting in the time. Being present. By doing the thing you’ve called to do, inspires everyone else. So I may not be the coolest person you know, but I promise to love God with my whole heart and to show up in hopes of encouraging you in your walk. All are welcome here.
