I’m Back . . .

When I decided back in February or March to take some time away from this ministry, I really didn’t realize the void I would feel in my life. Now, almost 6 months later I am well aware and ready to return from my sabbatical. After beginning this ministry in January 2005, I have never looked back. 6 months ago however I had to look around and take some time for my family.

I am glad I did, it allowed me to cultivate some of my friendships, as well as enjoy some new experiences. This summer I taught a summer school class to teenagers for four weeks in the public school that I graduated from in 1999.

When God gives you a calling, you know it and as I stood before those students on the last day of class to give them a presentation on internet safety, I couldn’t help but weave in a few “morsels” of wise Godly words of wisdom about those topics that are so important to me.

I knew standing there that I am called to speak to teenagers. Then, over the past few weeks I’ve been dealing with some things head on in my own life and with my own peers. Realizing more and more that though it isn’t my comfort zone, God wants me to speak to them as well. No, I’m wrong, he wants to speak to them and even though I like Moses feel “ill prepared” and “lacking”, God is prepared and he can and will equip me for the task.

He has quite boldly made me aware of those things, which He wants me to talk about, some of which are subjects that though I know all too well I find difficult to talk about, my own life-long dealings with anxiety and overwhelm. Even about God’s calling on my life and how I knew that is indeed what it was.

I am going to be taking it one step at a time as He reveals these new pieces of the puzzle to me. But, be on the look out for new topics here and new materials as well. I am thrilled to be back and I pray that you are glad to have me back in your midst.

Blessings,
