A Message from the Witnesses
So, after I wrote my blog last week, I went in to the church to start my new job. It was great, but, as with anything new, it seemed to be somewhat overwhelming to me.
I think ministry in itself can seem overwhelming sometimes…especially at this stage, as we try to sort out what we are doing as a community, why we are doing it, and how we as a community listen for God and follow Christ.
So I went to the church, and was assessing what supplies I had, I was trying to organize a bit, and trying to pray through this sense of overwhelming that I felt creeping over me. It was about this time that I looked at they wall, and I saw that verse that I spoke about in my previous post. Hebrews 12:1. It wasn’t planned, it was simply a sign.
I smiled slightly, and continued with my work.
I saw that scripture in three other places in the church that day. It seemed to be following me around. The witnesses…the saints that have gone before were watching me, and encouraging me.
The cloud of witnesses was at its best.
