A Word from the Interim Director of Missions

Praying for Unity, Fellowship, and the Holy Spirit to move us forward together.

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven " (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

    The other day I was reminded about the many hats that I wear, and was ask how do you deal with all that you do?  Well at first I started to think about each hat (referring about different position and jobs that involve me), and what each require of me.  And at one time in all that thinking I was almost overwhelmed!  But then I was reminded about that verse in Ecclesiastes:
 

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven "  (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

    That’s when everything begin to become clear.  It was not that I had to much, or that I was over worked , or even had to much on my plate.  But this is and what my Lord, wants me to do! And He has been preparing me for years for just this moment.  
    Much like Moses, when he was faced with the people and their concerns and problems, as they were leaving Egypt.  He too though how will I ever be able to do this?  Its to much!  But the Lord had been preparing he for just that season!!
    To often we fill like we can’t do this or that because we have so much already! To add another responsibility to the list would almost be an impossibility!   But have you every consider that our Lord,  has been preparing you for just that task or season?  

    So next time you are asked to serve in a position, to help in a committee, or even serve in a group, don’t turn away the great opportunity to serve that Lord with gladness!
