We are now 22 books into Acts and I can't help but think how amazing Paul was. I compare him to Jesus in his determination and Faith. He is truly and completly selfless and faithful to his mission, which is spreading God's word and creating a church of believers. Nothing is stopping him because he is filled with the Holy Spirit and is doing God's work.
As I am reading, I keep thinking about our church and the changes that we are facing. Many who know me, know that I am not great with change. I like things to stay the same for the most part and really don't like surprises! Well, that has to CHANGE! There are many changes going on right now, many of which are surprises! I am finding that I have to be flexible and open minded. Not my most comfortable state of being.
Faith is a word that I have been using a lot lately. Faith that the budget will work itself out, Faith that we will grow our congregation, Faith that we can send our kids to the mission trip and on and on it goes. Putting my faith in God and his work in our church is making me stronger and more convicted that the changes going on are all for the good. FAITH will help me roll with changes!!!!
I am learning a lot from Paul and his faith!
