stepping up

Today I had the opportunity to lead a discussion of about 13 women...(ok let me just add 13 women who could be my mom!!) in a Beth Moore study through the psalms of ascent. The youngest by a good 10 years I was not sure how the group would react to the change in leadership. God showed up and poured His blessing on the discussion. I often feel that I cannot articulate myself well, and I don’t know if the other women felt that, but their encouraging words and their astonishment that this insight was coming from a 20 year old was enough blessing for me. After the discussion we went in to watch the pre-recorded dvd that corresponds with the study, and I came to a wonderful realization…Beth articulates herself about as well as I do(hopefully God planted that idea in my brain, otherwise i'm just a jerk...). I think we both struggle with finding the right words because our excitement and love of God moves faster than our brains can form the words to express it! Hahaha maybe I’m totally off, but that’s how it is for me, and that’s how I feel when I’m listening to her.

what a night, i pray i can hold on to this joyful blessing.
