Look what God has done!!

I love just being able to sit back and say to myself "Look what God has done!" God has been opening many doors and windows for me to be able to be used by Him and for Him. It's been amazing to just be able to see what's going on in the community around me. I am so thankful to have been brought up and raised in such a fabulous place- "God's Country!" The people are great! The scenery great! The sense of community great! And then that God blessed me with a job as a teacher in this area is just wonderful. Going into the "mission field" each morning is such a blessing. Of course it takes me some mornings a bit longer to remember this! God has put me in a place to be able to love and minister to so many student and in a variety of ways. I think it's wonderful that He would even choose me to use!

Last week I was invited to speak at the high school FCA meeting. I was so nervous. Getting up and speaking isn't my cup of tea. I'm a behind the scenes kind of gal. I'm all about planning, organizing, praying...but to actually share something gets my knees a bit week. BUT I do love sharing what God has taught me. I definately could go on and on and on about that! Thankfully, just as God always does, He was teaching me something wonderful of blessing and curses and how each day there are moments that choose the blessing over the curse and sadly, visa versa. I was also reminded that in the Garden, Adam and Eve had the same laid before them. They could have ate from the Tree of Life- blessings! or from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil- curses! And they chose the latter. Being able to share this was powerful for me. It was amazing for me to see what God was doing in me and what greater things He may have before me.

Tonight was another great night and honor that I was able to be a part of a great ministry to students. Fields of Faith, again is an FCA started ministry. This is a national night set aside where schools and communities gather on a field to read the word of God and to challenge one another to get into the Word. The key scripture for Fields of Faith is 2 Chronicles 34. This scripture is about Josiah and how he found the Word of the Lord in the Temple and brought it before the people and challenged them to follow God and His commandments. Many students shared their testimonies and God ministered in a mighty way. We may not have seen huge numbers or results tonight. But we can truly sit back, smile, rejoice, and say, "Look what God has done!!!!!"
