Saved to Serve

I’m back! I’ve been unusually absent from here, but we have had some days away where there was no connection to the Internet. While life goes on without blogging, I’ve missed sharing my heart and the things the Lord is doing in my life.

My husband and I had the privilege of speaking at Ambassador Baptist College this week. Every time we visit that campus we are so impressed by the sweet spirit of the students. They are gracious, polite, and they love God!

What a blessing it was for me to be able to address the wives of men preparing for the ministry. Those ladies and myself share a kinship – we are ministry wives! We have a unique and wonderful calling. I was delighted to be able to speak to them and encourage them about the blessing of being called “the minister’s wife.”

Yesterday morning while my husband addressed the men, I got to speak to about 80 young college women; a privilege I don’t take lightly. To be able to speak to them about “The Woman God Uses” was a challenge to my own heart. God does not use someone who thinks they have something to offer Him, He uses an unlikely person in unusual circumstances to accomplish unbelievable results for His glory! If anything was accomplished in the days we were at Ambassador, He gets the glory for it, for I surely have nothing to say without His enablement!

Has the Lord opened a door for you to serve Him in some way? Don’t be hesitant or afraid to say yes! He will equip you and sustain you to accomplish His will. The blessing from being a vessel He can use is beyond words. We were saved to serve. Are you serving faithfully and regularly? If not, ask God how He might want to use you in the days ahead.

Under His feathers,
