I don't want to be a leader, I want to be His servant!

Ever since I learned about (and really understood) Celebrate Recovery, I have felt an immense pull toward the ministry.  And not just in an attendance sort of way, but in a leadership sort of way.  I can't exactly explain it, but when I say I've felt very strongly about being part of it, I mean in a HUGE way.  Well, it appears as though God is showing me that path now.

After bringing it up to our home church's lead pastor, Filip and I are in heavy prayer about beginning the Celebrate Recovery program!!!  This prospect is incredibly exciting!  Though, I will admit, I have some nerves happening as well!

Though, after a very intense and powerful message at church this morning, I am reminded that I should not have anxiety about it.  Because God is working, and will work, in this!  Celebrate Recovery is HIS ministry!  Something a very wise person said to me the other night, and the motto I will remember and strive to stand by -

God is the leader of Celebrate Recovery, I am His servant.  

I will be in a place to serve others through their recovery 

and to help them find their healing in Jesus Christ!

I don't want to be a leader, I want to be a servant!  And though my title would be leader, I know that my true position is to be a servant to Christ!  I will want to be His arms and legs, to speak His words with His heart, to do His will in everything!  So, I will do my best as His servant to lead others to Him!

My story, our story... one that I pray will be used to encourage those who find themselves sitting in front of us at meetings.  I am so thankful to the work God has done in our lives, especially now that we will get to share that in a much more powerful way!

I am asking that our friends be in prayer with us as we step out in faith to begin such a wonderful ministry!  We know God is here, walking in front of us, guiding our path!  We know He will do the work He needs done!  

And a major THANK YOU to those who have already been in prayer with us!  We appreciate all the faithful people in our lives!  But we have so many faithful people because we have such a faithful God!  What an amazing God He is!
