I've not been pursuing Seminary for a while....I've just felt as if the timing was not right. There have been so many things that have happened (especially my "Christian's" health being front and center) and I have been very relieved that school was not in the mix, but something happened at church on Sunday.
A new member, who I've really not had contact with, came up to me. This person is in need of someone being "present" for them as they have recently had a great loss and for some reason, and he felt led to talk to me. I was quite overwhelmed and pretty surprised.
Is this God's way of saying that I have had enough "time off" and I need tro begin my active pursuit of Seminary again? It has really made me think.
I assured this church member that I was not a professional counselor, just a pastor's wife who struggles with depression and has a heart for ministry. He wants to sit and talk, so I agreed (and today I received my next lay speaker's class book "Lay Pastoral Care Giving" in the mail).
I am stepping out in faith to answer what seems to be God's calling.
It may not sound like a big thing, but I think God moves in mysterious ways. Sometimes it's the little things that mean the most.
Today I Am Thankful For:
1. legal pads
2. an extremely busy day
3. an upcoming business trip with a dear friend
4. a new blouse
5. beginning a new Bible Study
