Doors of Opportunity

When I first got married and moved to Dover DE it was an adjustment. Don’t get me wrong, I was very happy to move away with my handsome groom. However, I found felt isolated and useless in a way.  

There is something wired inside me what NEEDS to be moving and helpful. I can recall when Noah and were courting, and I would be stressed about something Noah would walk me into a messy room (at one of our parents houses) and let me loose. After I had finished cleaning he would come back in and ask “feel better now”?  I would always feel better!

When you grow up in a busy household there is a lot expended of you. Being depended on was one of those expectations I loved! I love to feel useful and purposeful in whatever I was doing in my home, church, and work. So when I moved I was removed from my home, church, and work, all the places I felt useful and needed.  I was very excited to settle my new little house and be useful to my husband (supporting him and keeping things running smoothly) but it did not feel like it was enough.

I remember when I was growing up and I started to feel like I needed to be helping someone or needed a ministry the first thing my Mama would tell me to do was pray. This has come back to me so many times and has blessed me.  So of course I started asking God to settle me into a ministry. If you ask God for work he will give it to you. I have been just amazing to see how God has brought people and organizations and now a church where I can serve.  My calendar went from empty to full in a matter of weeks!  

I just praise God from whom ALL blessings flow. I am so thankful that He saved me and gave me work here on earth. I know I would be a crazy, obnoxious, stress ball without the work of the Holy Spirit in my life.
