Courage

Last week I decided to share about my recent two posts grace and faith to my church group. It was such a great experience. Although I may have been a bit nervous about sharing something so personal with a group of 50+ people that I didn't know that well, I kept it under control and let the story speak for itself. It was just on my heart to share my story. The results have been overwhelming from one person being really touched that night to the continued encouragement others have expressed.  It has been amazing to see how God has used me and my story to reach and remind others just how awesome God can be.

At Bible study last week we all wrote something nice about another person.  Mine said, "I loved listening to you at 242! Thanks so much for sharing! It was cool seeing how God's working in you! You are such a woman of God and I have really enjoyed getting to know you more this year :) Thanks for being someone I can look up to. :)" I am not sure who wrote it as we left them anonymous but it was really awesome to receive it.  Although I would never describe myself as "such a woman of God." Usually, I feel like anything but that.  So it was interesting to think about myself in those terms. I guess I feel like to be a woman of God you should be older and wiser or just have some kind of wisdom to share and I don't think I have this. But I can see how you would see that in someone you look up to.
