Well, it's October 1. I figured a good enough time to actually get my butt back on the blog and fill you all in on what's been happening. I've revamped the look a little bit as well. Consider it a re-start.
Yes, I know I restarted a few months ago. What's your point?
I'll start with work. It seems that I've been given a new lease on my job. I spent most of the summer negotiating a new compensation plan, which I had to fight tooth and nail for. But, in the end, I've come out with a nice plan. Plus, I'm going to be moving to Rotterdam and Cobleskill five days a week. NO MORE TRAVEL TO ALBANY!!!!!!! I am being given the chance to develop these two offices into my own thing. It's cool, now I have the chance to create my own success. It'll be hard, but I think it'll be fun. And profitable, too! And Vini's going to be my Office Manager! Hooray! She's sweet, mellow and very maticulous. I'm very comfortable with her. And she with me.
I know the work thing is a little different than my past attitude recently. Here's the deal - I spent most of the summer hating my job and calling it holiness. I would rip Bob and Danny and call it humility and being "in touch". I sat around and played on the internet, waiting for Jesus to save me from my job. But he wants to save me TO my job. He placed me there and he'll tell me when to move on. For now, let's plan that Jesus is going to bless me in the job until He comes back. Plus, the money is good, providing my family and I with the money to pursue His plans for me.
Calvary Tabernacle is a fantastic church! We are getting involved very quickly. I felt too quickly, in fact, and I've already backed down from some stuff. But I played drums on the worship team last Sunday. And when I get to talk to Joe Prisk on Sunday, I'm going to get hooked up in the men's ministry. Tricia is, for now, going to work with the kids (big surprise) and join the choir, at least, for Christmas. We just feel so at home with what Lorenzo is teaching and where the church is going! I'm going to try to post an mp3 of his message from last Sunday. AWESOME!!! All about how we're not going to sit back and wait for some big sign to fall out of the sky. We're going to work for Jesus and be propelled by His love.
Got to talk to Pastor Noel and he told me about an on-line Bible cirriculum for lay leaders. It's not a seminary in the truest sense, but it can give someone all the ministry knowledge they need. I desperately want to be part of it. I'm hoping by the end of the year I'll be on my way to getting started.
My attitude as to why I'm going to do it has changed. Check this out:
I don't care if I never become a full-time Christian worker. That's right!
My plan is this - I'm going to work for the Hearing Aid Office, then work like crazy in the church, whether in Schenectady or around the world. I'll study through the Bible school at the church to be well trained for all that He leads me into. I'll go back to school to help my self do all the work as a PART-TIME leader. Let God sort it all out. I will just commit myself to all the training I can to be as effective as I can for as many people as I can as quickly as I can.
Sound good? I think so.
God is so good. I'm continuing to grow in Him. Grow in wisdom. Grow in peace. Is it all a piece of cake? Oh, sure. And I'm actually a girl. But He who has begun a good work is going to complete it. (Philippians 1.6) And I will have a front row seat for it all.
The plan is that I will post something here once a week. Consistency - my new philosophy!
Until next time...
Walk with God...
