God really led my husband and I in a direction I hadn't seen coming from a mile away in my previous 'life' (ha). But I am so glad. My church body is the picture of Christ. It's beautiful. A multi-ethnic, diverse church, IN MORE ways than just race. We cross cultural barriers, economic status, even mental health. Everyone is SO DIFFERENT and I love it. It is so much more of an accurate depiction of heaven on earth. My life has been SO ENRICHED by my church body in the last two years. The thing I love and must always keep in perspective is that I'm not the one always having to minister, they are ministering to me, too. Equally, if not more! It is awesome!

This is so true and you are very right! I just posted today about something my boys and I started. We are choosing to look for our mission field right in front of us every day in the people we interact with in public. It's easy to lose focus but you are right that we need to seize the opportunities we've been given to share our hope in Christ. Thanks for the reminder!

So REAL. So HONEST. I LOVE this!! :)

I adore your heart and the fact that you're so open. You minister to SO many and that, my friend, is a huge GIFT!!!

Oh I love this and I love your heart. What you're describing is the real deal...real people...real ministry...real church. Jesus didn't hang out with people that looked just like Him...they looked/acted nothing like Him. It's so easy to go to church and just hang with those you have the most in common - being in a small group with couples that look just like you in the way of all the "stuff." Though I just don't see how that lines up with His Word and the true New Testament church. We should fear being comfortable in our walk.

Great post, friend.

I love this post sweet friend :-) I remember talking to you about your church and the differences a long time ago, and I'm so glad to see that the Lord is continuing to draw you to His heart and to help you see the Truth about yourself and those around you :-)

Very, very well said!! I feel the same convictions often and it's so hard to listen and not try to push him away. I am far too guilty of letting the enemy in, and I need to pick up my armor for God!

Perhaps you can use this blog... Ministry Mondays?...

Your blog is a ministry to me! :) I love your honesty. It reminds me that I, too, am not perfect but that's okay because I know I AM.

Love this Megan!!
It's sad that there are so many 'hurt' people in churches everywhere...but, its true.
Its what we choose to do with that hurt and let God use it for HIS Glory!!
This last year was probably the hardest year of my life...things were said to me that devastated me and crushed my spirit in a way. But, God is BIGGER than all of that. I refuse to let Satan 'torment' me anymore.

Thank you for this post...i'm so excited that the Lord is awakening women everywhere!! It's such an exciting time!!

Thanks again, Megan!!

Amen! It seems like, in all the Christian blogs in bloggyland, that God is awakening women and telling them to stop believing the lies from the enemy. May He continue to awaken you to His purpose. :)
