As most of you know, the last two years have come with many ups and downs. I never expected to be single again. I know tht God does not like divorce, but doesn't dislike the divorcy. Sometimes I look back and think why me?? I think I am now starting to understand. God's plan was not for me to be divorced, but I did need a wake up call to continue to grow in my walk with him. I was just strolling through life, getting involve in my comfort zone activities at church, but never really praying about what God wanted me to do. I feel that God lead me to a strong leadership team and friends that would guide me. What an awesome God we serve.
A year ago the idea of a Divorced/Single Support group came to mind, which still meets once a month. Sometimes the group is a time of fellowship and others a time of bible study.
In early summer a friend and councelor sent me an email about possibly leading a Divorce Care Group. I thought she was crazy!! I never totally forgot about the idea. Late in the summer, I started researching this information again. I have actually just completed the 13 week series and gained much healing through the group. We are hoping to offer this through Freedom Valley in the beginning of 2009.
It is amazing what God is doing in me. I am one that has always been nervous about leading. I would rather be in the backgound and let someone else be up front, but I don't think that is not what God wants.
I guess we will see what else God has instore for me in 2009. Please keep me in prayer as I grow in my journey with the Lord.
