Saturday evening our church commissioned us to go into Kandern to be light and salt. Sometimes the intensity of emotion before something happens and the actual experience are very different. This was true Saturday. My day was calm, but the evening felt surreal. The blessing of having the congregation commit to hold us up in prayer overwhelmed me. The laying on of leadership's hands and Pastor's prayer of commitment inspired me. I was honored by this act.
So many things I don't understand. Why me? How will I be used? How will I get everything done in the right timing? Am I strong enough, brave enough, smart enough to do this? Because of the commissioning I have a cloud of witnesses saying "yes, we will stand with you." And I have a Heavenly Father who doesn't make mistakes. I am clay in His loving hands, and I anticipate the product He will create.
