Encouraged, and Ready to Serve Again!

The past couple weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster! Circumstances have gotten me down to the point of wanting to quit. However, God showed me this morning through Pastor's message that my problem was anger and bitterness. I had become angry that some situations had developed, and bitter that I was forced to deal with problems I didn't create. However, that's NOT the attitude I've had in the past, and that's not the attitude of someone that God wants to use in His service. I know He has placed me where I am to be a help and blessing to others, and I REALLY WANT TO BE. Therefore today I confessed and forsook the anger and bitterness I was holding onto.

Thank you for those who have been praying for me during this, and for those who showed concern for me...it means so much that people care about me.

When I was a teen growing up at another church, it seemed as those in leadership lived so far above the rest of us, that I didn't get a chance to see their struggles; therefore, I missed seeing how they dealt with them. TEENS...I'm not perfect, and I want you to see that. But I also want you to see in me an example of 2 Corinthians 12:9 where Paul said about God, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
