Ordination

This next Sunday I will be ordained as a Prophet in the church with the rights and privileges
(and responsibilities) as a minister. I am awed about this. I never set out to be ordained. I was only a willing vessel as the Bible asks us to be. But the Apostle of our church, and yes he is an Apostle just like Paul or Timothy who is called by God and empowered to recognize the callings on people's lives, recognized my calling even when I didn't have a clue. So for three years I have been a 'prophet in training' and have finished the School of Ministry and now teach in the school which is a fancy way of saying I'm learning even more.

I have always loved God. Even when I was messed up and wasn't living for God I still loved Him. It's kind of like cheating on your husband. You are still bound to him but doing the wrong things. But the love of God drew me back to and I will never leave again. My home is where my heart is, and my heart is with God.

He never ceases to amaze me. The way He works things out is nothing short of miraculous. Last year I needed a new truck. I wrote down exactly what I wanted and the day before I was to return my leased car, there it was. The year, model with the extras and the exact price I wanted to pay. I left my car at the Volvo dealership and went to the bank and signed for my truck. That is only one of many examples of the miraculous way He has worked in my life.
Being sold out to God isn't always the easiest road but anything worth having is never the easy way. Whatever comes my way, God and I are going through it together. I don't want to draw one breath without Him
