I’m just excited and wanted to tell someone

This post is purely personal. I guess that’s ok to do here. It’s not for any publication, or any real purpose other than to share what God is doing in my life right now. Perhaps it will encourage someone that God isn’t done with us yet.

If you’ve read some of my posts (and if you haven’t, why not?) you will get some of my backstory. Suffice it to say here that I used to be in ministry, even full time for a while, and through a series of choices all that went away. It left in such a fashion that I never thought it would return. It was a miracle that I even began attending church again.

But attend church I did, and have been going to a Methodist church for about 3 years now. This is still an amazing fact to me, as I have been about as far away theologically from Methodist as you can get. But I found there people that love Jesus and that loved me, even before they knew me. It was refreshing and exactly the show of God’s grace and mercy that I needed, and continue to need today.

Well, I had been dipping my toe in serving in various ways at this church. I taught a couple of Sunday school classes, have sang a few special numbers, have helped take up offering and such. I did all this with great hesitation, but God was working on me.
