People

Met some nice people today at my church. They are helping me to find my spiritual gifts. I will be attending more classes then I thought I could at the same time.Through the grace of God I have allowed myself to be open to people and have been received well. This is very frightening for me but at the same time I have moments of confidence and grace. I will be doing a lot of reading for the next year. The reading requirements of my classes cover several books. I have already started one which is not required but was written by Dr. David Jeremiah who is also my pastor here at Shadow Mountain. It is called "GOD in YOU" very powerful and intellectual book on releasing the power of the Holy Spirit in your life. I feel I have already began to make some life long friends. I feel that God has lead me to some great people and in turn they may be lead to me. They are a very blessed and gifted Christian community that does great work through many different ministries. Less than a week after I began applying for membership I was sent an email invitation to come and help a person in our community. We live in a "High Fire Risk Area" and some people are not able to clear their property in order to keep it safe from fire danger. So from 8:00 until noon this next Saturday I will be cutting down over grown areas that are to close to structures for a women who has brain cancer and is going through chemo.This is exactly what I prayed for, to be a servant of God. Not as glamorous as a music ministry but much more rewarding in the blessing it will be for this women. I will get to use my music to evangelize with in the future. For now mostly study and service because I have learned there is no such thing as luck, only preparation meeting opportunity....
