The power of a song? A Life? and a little change too.

I heard this song a few weeks ago for the first time and it really gave me the chills- it still does each time I hear. The lyrics are really powerful.

Yesterday I listened to this song several times and it really made me think about where I am in my walk with God and my life in general. My strongest desire is to help people. I had to ask myselfl How is my life being used by the Lord to effect others? Now that we have moved out of the ministry of Adopt-A-Block, my counselings have slowed down (I just have 2 now) and after this week I will no longer be working at the church I am really trying to think some things out and figure out how to stay as effective for the kingdom. And dont get religious on me, I know a person can be effective in the work place, at home with kids and anywhere else but, I am talking about my life.
For so long my life has been saturated with ministry, everyday has been linked to ministry and before my eyes it is switching to more of a home-life and I finally get to focus on helping my husband grow his business but, as I listen to this song I always get a visual (like a mental motion picture before my eyes) of all the things the Lord has allowed me the grace to do for him and I have an awesome walk with God. I've met many people and walked some really cool things out with our church. How will I remain effective in the mon-friday, 8-5 grind?

Don't get me wrong, I am excited to see what this next chapter will bring. I'm excited to be able to meet new people outside of my circle of life, I'm also excited to dress up and be around others (I was usually in the office alone and I cleaned the church so anything other than capris and jeans was out of the question) but I'm especially excited to work along side my hubby. I pray that with this new adventure we are taking on together, we will continue to impact people for the Lord and though it will be in a different way, it will still be effective - I know that this company will be a success!

Anyways, hope you enjoy the song.

here's another change

This has for sure been a year of change. That is why I am so thankful to the Lord for being surrounded by such an amazing group of people. We have a great Leadership team in our church. We would not or could not be the awesome ministry we are without each and every one of them. I am constantly reminded of it: Last night at our KPM Leadership meeting Scott and I made an announcement to everyone about a BIG change in our lives, a new season (sounds more spiritual that way-hehe). It is so refreshing to truly be surrounded by great people who embrace us in every chapter of our lives not to forget our Pastors who have always been so supportive of all of our endeavors and even give us the freedom to take chances and even make mistakes, because when we all make them (it is inevitable). But when we do we know we are shown grace and mercy. As so much else in our lives this year we did not see this one coming either but, as with anything else we will face this new challenge, this new blessing and this new calling - head on knowing that He who calls us is faithful and HE WILL complete the GOOD work that he has started within us! I am saddened to say Good-bye to such an awesome blessing- but I am also excited at this new chapter in my life, side by side with my awesome hubby, his success is my success. As Scott and I embark on this together I ask that you pray for us like never before and for Texas PRN as we pour ourselves into it whole heartedly and with all we have within us. It is a GREAT company and I am so proud of my awesome and wonderful man-of-God. -Have a beautiful day today Missa
