God calls us to ministry. Sometimes that means a lifetime in a particular segment of the enterprise. Sometimes that means we will serve in various roles at various times.<BR/><BR/>GordonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448466740773241098.post-70978740121714566242009-01-10T10:14:00.000-08:002009-01-10T10:14:00.000-08:00You're so awesome! I look forward to hearing all about the conference when I see you in person. Exorcised and re-saved?<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad that God has revealed to you where He wants you and that you seem to have given up kicking and screaming your way into children's ministry. Truly allowing God to take the lead can be hard for us humans, believe me I know! I struggle with that very thing. I'm always complaining about not seeing the JOY of the Lord in Christians. You put it very well: (maybe not in these words) following God's plan instead of our own leads to the kind of JOY that is so evident in children! <BR/>The other great thing about you being in Children's Ministry is you get to stay a kid forever!! Well done, Peter Pan!Martyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13688993626595252654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448466740773241098.post-2108951744644615252009-01-09T19:07:00.000-08:002009-01-09T19:07:00.000-08:00As promised:<BR/><BR/>Well written. . .Honestly, "grown ups" don't get you. You're strange and excited and emphatic. And you throw up words. You're a wonderful, honest, authentic kid. And kids LOVE you! Could it be anything but God tugging you this way?<BR/><BR/>I know you've been struggling. But if God is leading you to JOY... don't spit in his face and absolutely don't be afraid to tell about it! There is no shame in following His lead and no one in his or her right mind would argue that there is!The Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09670667674209026064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448466740773241098.post-27087730264709906842009-01-09T12:39:00.000-08:002009-01-09T12:39:00.000-08:00Wow, Corey.
