man, i haven't blogged in a while. well, actually, some of my blogging lately has been on another one that i've been working on for the single gals. ;) i've also had a stupid cold, so i feel like i've been laid up for a while.
anyway...back to blogging heaven.
i was able to do a sermon a few weeks ago...one about the life of joseph, the adoptive father of christ. i just so loved doing that one. he's actually become quite a hero of trust for me...and a great example of how god's heart is all about life with we regular people...making lives of eternal significance. super sweet!
well...as is true for many teachers, speakers, pastors and the like...after you do a teaching, you don't always get to see how it's used in the lives of others or if it had any value at all. my mentors have taught me that the holy spirit is always working...that we can even trust that when we don't feel like we've communicated perfectly etc. so, i've had to really try to focus on that.
but today, i was able to hear a really sweet story of how god spoke to someone through the joseph teaching.
of course, while i say that i would like that sort of feedback, i also have to admit that hearing it is VERY difficult.."want to hear" and "don't want to hear" all at the same time . it makes me feel awkward because i don't want it to be about me, but i do want to know if the words were pointless etc.
anyway, this guy told me how he was able to use it the very next day with a group of tough kids.
it was a great confirmation to keep on learning, practicing and listening to his heart.
