Lea and James' blog
Wednesday, July 05, 2006she helps me dreamOk, so here's the deal There was something that I've been thinking about on and off for probably at least a year. Just an area of ministry that I would like to be more involved in at church (and have been in the past at my church in college). But because of insecurity (which I decided is really another form of pride), I haven't really expressed that desire to anyone at the church that could actually do anything about it. I think it was kind of like, "well, if I don't ask them, they can't say no." I know...I'm 12 years old. So anyway, Lea and I were talking while eating dinner on Monday (incidentally, we were eating this REALLY REALLY good dinner that Lea made for us - she is SUCH a good cook, everything she makes is awesome. Kim - you are probably partially to thank for that, so thank you too!), and I told her about this area of ministry and my desires. She listened to my thoughts, fears, and hopes, and then told me how she believed in me and talked to me about how God has gifted me, and basically just came alongside me and pointed me toward truth and encouraged me to pursue those desires God has given me, etc. As a result, I sent an email the next day to a couple people at church, just explaining my idea, and sharing my heart about being involved with it. I was excited to send it after talking to Lea - her encouragement just inspires me. What an amazing woman, what a friend, and what a love. |
