The Other Moment

As some of you know we have been on sabbatical from Ministry for a short while. Catching our breath and awaiting what God would have us do. . .

The other moment in my previous post is now official and underway. My husband is now the Pastor of Student Ministries at First Baptist Jensen Beach, FL. We have been praying for about 6 months now, knowing that we were ready to get back into ministry, but seeking where God wanted us to be. It is now official and such a wonderful fit for us. We are already a part of this church as we have been attending there since last fall. It feels good to be doing what we have been called to do. . .Actual ministry - helping others, getting to know these kids and trying to make a difference. That is what this church is all about. That is what God is all about.

Had an interesting discussion with the girls in the class I taught this morning. About what true Christians should be like. We agree that it should look just like what Jesus did while He was on the earth. Loving others, helping others, meeting them where they are, not judging them or putting them down, finding out what they are all about. Everyone has a story. Everyone just wants someone to care.

Christians are portrayed in a bad light in some cases. We just don't want to be that way. We want others to see Jesus love coming through us. Can't do that is your yelling at them from across the street or holding up ugly signs condemning them. I believe if Jesus were here today. . .He would be in the abortion clinic, hugging those precious girls that have just had a big dose of reality. Comforting those hurting & lost souls whoever they may be. Not hold up in some church-house condemning them or fearing them.

I will pose the question to you I asked of myself and this group of girls this morning -
"What do others know about God by watching you everyday?" . . . Because believe me they are watching to see even a glimpse of hope from someone! Anyone!
