I am not sure how I got to the point where I am at. It has to be God. 
Last Year I was a stressed out wreck. I gave things over to God, but I still worried. I worried and stressed about lots of little things, little things that didn’t matter. I’ve been seeing what has been happening at work lately and am confused. Why am I not stressed out? When did I learn to let go and let God? When did I cast all my cares upon him? I don’t know what changed, I have been trying to give my stress and worrying over to the Lord for more than a year, and so all of a sudden the Lord blessed me with peace when I wasn’t even looking for it. I’m sure that it will still be a struggle and I will have to constantly remember to trust God. But OH, how I rejoice in the small accomplishments, the baby steps. Because that is how we change, one morning we don’t wake up different, we make one small step at a time. So, rejoice in the small things. Don’t worry, give it to God and when you feel called to do something, DO IT. NO excuses or explanations, and definitely NO REGRETS!!
Work has been hard lately.
It is hard to do the same thing day in and day out and be content and feel like you are making a difference for the kingdom. But yesterday, for some unknown reason was different. I was reading an FYM blog, my main job is to read Blogs, and I just really felt like the Lord was telling me to pray for this girl. So instead of going on to the next blog I sat there with my head down on my desk and just prayed for her for like 10 minutes.
I’ve decided that the key to my job is to pray for the needs that these participants put on their blogs, to drench them in prayer. That is why I have been given that job, to minister to them both by reading what they are doing and encouraging them but by lifting them up to my wonderful heavenly father.
Pray for the stress to be removed from the rest of my team, and for us to be faithful to our jobs and to see how we are impacting the kingdom for good.
Hey Okay so I love you so much and consider myself very lucky to have you as a roommate and teammate this year. You have this thing about you. I can fell the calmness and the “Gods going to take care of it” attitude. Thanks for all you do for our team and for the on the fielders. Your great and I approve.
hey em! I just want to say I love you so much and I love your blogs! the pictures always have such true statements in them. Isn’t it funny how when we are praying ans crying out to God for help at times he lets us keep crying out. I feel it’s because God wants to see how bad we want it, and if we keep pursuing Him. And Em you keep chasing after Him, I can see it and so can everyone else. Well my dear keep up the good work in your blogs..and READ ON!
Em, I’m praising God for what He’s doing in your life. Ministry comes in all kinds of shapes and forms. Thanks for your prayers for each of these participants. God is using you in thier lives.
Em, I am so proud of you . Thank you for sharing the stuff going on in your life. We are all imperfect and struggling with “stuff”. Its amazing how sharing with the team ministers to all us , we all realize that everyone is just as “messed up” as we are. Continue to walk toward Christ, never accept that we are just the way we are but continue to strive towards perfection. I love you Em !!
Hey!! I really enjoyed reading this blog…I do struggle with getting in God’s way so much but I know that when I let go and give it all to God it couldn’t work out more perfect. He lets us make our mistakes so in return when we let them go, He fixes it, and teaches us through it all. When He ministers to us that is when we can let others know what He has done for us. I fall more in love with Him everyday!!
