Ministers conference was amazing.

I was hardly in any meetings. But God still did so much in my life that whole week. I volunteered to be a server in hospitality Mon,Wed and Fri. Tues,Thurs and Sat night I worked from 2- 8:00 and picked up Ps.Todd & Katies kids straight from getting off work, I’d go to the church and would drive the kids home, and tuck all three boys in bed,  and watched them until the parents came home. So in essence I started my week working hospitality Monday from 10:00-4:30, then I’d have to pull myself away and go do my housekeeping job in Thonotosassa from 5-10:30/11:00.(my boss gave me flexability on my hospitality days to come into work late)

Tuesday I went to part of the morning service and left at 1:30 to work by 2:00 my normal work hours are 2-8) and I’d wrk my normal wrk hours, and pick up the Holmes kids right after I’d get off work, and study til late at their house watching the kids, after tucking them in till the parents arrived.  That was my whole week. I made half of Tues, Thurs, and Sat. But Sunday was my break day and it was definitely the most special.

Phil Smithers laid hands on us all, and it really stirred me up. I told God I was so hungry, and wanted to get drunk and totally lost in the spirit Sun night because it was my time to relax. (Since Sun am I babysat Blake Holmes all service

God met me. I was pressing in like never before. God came down and spoke so many things to my heart that night. He let me know that even though I didn’t know my calling in the ministry exactly was, that He was still preparing me for it in every area. Through hospitality He was teaching me how to better my spirit of excellence. And how to be even more of a diligent servant. He was teaching me how to relate and work with people and kids, of all ages and types.  He said He is teaching me how to live my life as if I am really living in a glass house. Living pure in Him and doing my best to be the leader in Christ that I meant to be.

He said He’s enlarging my heart for the nations of souls out there.

I lost all reverent dignity of my outer expressions of emotions when Phil said to ask and the Lord, and He will give you the nations. I felt so unworthy. And when I spoke that to the Lord…He said He wanted to use my hands and feet…and that if would trust Him he would use me. He brought back to my memory when I was a small child that I’d dance people would get healed. The Lord told me He was still going to bring that to pass in my life. I was in shambles. Tears and messed up hair everywhere. Laughing and crying and overjoyed to be soaking in the Lord’s presence. I’d let so many things in my life I knew God might use me for go dormant, because I didn’t (and still don’t) know how they were going to come to pass. But God let me know His timing is perfect. And He has an appointed time for all these things in my life later on.  I was blessed beyond words and my joy was filled to the fullest. The week of Ministers Conference strengthened me in every way. I got to see how loving teamwork and organization of the body of Christ shows forth the precious spirit of God to the ministers that came seeking encouragement. And I got to love on the sweetest kids while providing childcare. God teaches us so much through children. If we will be like the least of these, we will inherit the kingdom of God.   When I learn to take the limits off of God and myself..God as the author and finisher of all things will truly become the God of the impossible for me.

God really blessed me with His joy and peace at the closeout service, and I was so drunk in the spirit my makeup was everywhere and my hair a crazy disaster. But through the makeup streaks and puffy cheeks….God birthed His strength anew; He put a peace inside to trust Him deeper than I ever have before.  He left me with the precious understanding that my life isn’t about my calling…..but about His heart. For it’s in His heart that my calling lies…and when I search in His word, and in His presence for what His desires really are, no matter where I am, or what I’m doing, that is when my heart beat will truly become one with His. And that is when my ministry will truly be what it is meant to be.  Being found, by being lost in Him.
