faith over fear

 Have you ever been afraid to follow through when you feel God tugging at you to do something? I do a lot. I am remembering during our women's ministry in Mezcallio and our leader in charge got sick. We had to all come together to do it. Which meant I had to speak.  In front of a crowd of people. You would think that this would be easy for me since I talk a lot! But speaking in front of people in a formal setting is not my first choice. But I did it. I started the introduction and then handed off to one of my teammates to lead the story line, and another to lead us in music and worship.  

Sometimes you just got to know that you are not alone and you do not have to do it all by yourself.  

Well, thinking back to this day, there were so many things God was showing me that I am just now realizing. Ruben's sister showing up. That was huge! I am so glad that God placed me and our team at her house the day before so we could talk with her and invite her to our women's day. Seeing all those kids show up! They thought we were back for them for more kids ministries. Did we turn them away? What do you think?? NO. We sat with them and colored with them. I enjoyed seeing their faces when we gave them the whole bag of crayons to use. You see, since we have so many kids, we usually can only give them 2-3 crayons and they have to share. So to see them using the whole bag and sharing, that was the best. To see their expressions and smiles digging through the bag.

God calls us to do different things, and sometimes he calls us out of what we know into something different. Will I be doing medical clinics again? I am sure of it, just not sure of the timing. But I know that whatever it is, I will be there, faith over fear, doing what I am called to do.


Bendiciones,
