Loved & Appreciated Friends~It has been awhile since I have communicated and I wanted to drop a note to give you a few updates.
Life continues to be very busy. Most of the time, it feels like my lips are barely above water...but God's grace is sufficient and, as usual, change is in the air.
On a family note....
Bill celebrated turning 50 a few months back which was filled with celebrations. It was a memorable time. My dad is still living with us and his physical health has stabilized a bit more but his memory is decreasing. Val is living on her own and has a new job at a coffee place, is going to school and is growing in responsibility. Doug only has a year left of college and is doing well. Life stays busy with all the family stuff going on.
On my job....
I am still working as a Case Manager in Hospice...which can be draining. BUT, praise God, a change is coming soon as I transition into a Nurse Educator role. I am thrilled for the change and am hoping to reclaim some time, emotional strength, etc. My new role will be training new nurses and I hope I can pass on some skills that I have acquired this past year. I will say that this job has taught me much....learning to live one day at a time and to cherish the moments and people we love has been imprinted on my heart in deeper ways.
On a ministry note....
We still host our house church gatherings twice a month. Regarding the Prayer Command Post, we have been in a season of prayer as we sense the Lord is doing a new thing. One of the areas that seems to be emerging is our call to focus on Leaders. I am praying about doing weekend Leadership Intensives with small groups of people (15 or less). I am also getting stirred by God with new relationships that are developing with missionaries in Africa. I still serve on several ministry boards.
Presently, I am waiting for my job to switch over so I can have more emotional and physical energy to pursue some other areas. We are hoping to begin to implement some of the vision beginning this Fall. I will send out updates as more clarity comes.
Insights and ponderings....
One of the words that the Lord has impressed upon me recently is that it is "time to break camp". I am still praying about the meaning of this, but I sense that one of the meanings is that the "cloud of God" is moving and I need to move with Him into new territories. We, as a ministry, have been camped for awhile in one area and I think the Lord has some new areas for us to explore, activate and steward.
SO....that is enough for now. Thank you if you have read this far...please pray as the Lord would lead you. We are dependent on God's word/direction as our daily bread and long to be in the center of His perfect will.
Thank you for your friendship and partnership with me over the years. I am forever grateful for our journey in building the Kingdom of God together as we each do our assigned part.
Living for His smile and for His glory,
Lynn
