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!
