I am not a faithful blogger. But I really do like to put my thoughts down, so I want to pick this back up, even if no one else comments on them or even reads them. It's good for me to get my thoughts and feelings out, even if it's just on a silly blog.
So much has changed since the last time I wrote on here. The last time I wrote, I had no idea what God wanted me to do with my life, and now I am living in South Carolina!! I am now the music director/worship leader for a Nazarene church down here. Which is something I wasn't sure I would ever be doing. I know I went to school for Music Ministry and got a degree in it, but I just wasn't sure if I saw myself as the music minister type. I mean, my passion is music, but I wasn't sure if ministry was really what I wanted to be in. Plus, by the time I actually graduated, I wasn't even sure that's what God wanted for me. I needed to be sure that's where He really wanted me, and not just where I decided on cause that was the easy answer when people asked me what I was going to do with my degree. But here I am! Sometimes I still can't believe how everything has worked out, because it seems way to perfect for my human mind to comprehend. But that's because it wasn't my mind that planned it; it was God's. Which makes it perfect!! :) It's such a blessing to be able to see God's hand in what is going on in your life as you're trusting Him.
These first couple of weeks of ministry have been quite tiring. I've had to get unpacked and adjusted to living here on my own; I've been trying to get to know the people better; and planning services and then carrying them out is a lot harder than it looks. I'm not complaining, because I am truly blessed to be here, and so excited for this ministry that God has put me into. There is just so much more to being a minister of music than it looks like there is. It isn't all just playing music, let me tell you! But, no matter how tiring it is, I love it. It's a huge adjustment and I miss being near my family, but I'm convinced that this is what I was made for! What job I have may change, but as long as I am doing what God wants and leads me to, then I am doing what I was made for!
So here is to a new beginning. Here is to learning to walk in the Holy Spirit as He guides me along the BEST plan for my life. Here is to doing exactly what I was created for, for the rest of my life, no matter what job that is.
