I know that it has been quite some time since I have been on here. There have been some small trials that I have been personally struggling with. I am happy to report though, that my time in the Lord has helped to bring me through! He truly is a great God and I am proud that I serve Him.
While in the midst of all of this, the Lord laid it on my heart to leave Jr. Church. As much as I love the children that I work with, I believe that there is someone out there who would better fit the ministry and have the time to really dig deep into the activities and lessons with the kids.
I prayed and listened, and feel that the Lord has called me to do something with music. Music and singing have always been a passion of mine. I feel that through the Lord, great things could happen. So I prayed (actually about 8 months ago) for God to show me an opportunity to do something with music. Whether it is an audition or meeting someone who has "contacts". Well, I was listening to the radio and I heard a commercial (many times) about a Christian talent agency. I went to their website, and chickenend out!! I just didn't think I could do that. I wasn't sure that my talent would be what it takes to make it.
So after many more months of this being on the back of my mind, I went back to the website and registered!!! So I know have an audition on January 28! I am not sure where this will lead, only God knows. I have really learned how to depend upon the Lord and listen and wait for His divine plan to work out with His timing. I am nervous, but at the same time ready to take this step.
Currently, I am asking for all to pray for me on the journey. Pray that I choose the right song that will showcase the talent the Lord has provided me with. Pray that God's will be done with the audition. Even if I don't make it, that a lesson for me be learned in the process for what I should be doing to better serve Him!
I know you will do well and you know I love ya!!!!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on your audition, Laura. I know you will do well, after all, it is the Lords work, not yours!
ReplyDeleteI'm sad to hear that you have stepped down from Jr Church director, but I know all to well what a challenge that is. It really is hard work, and takes so much time to get lessons and things together, especially when you work and have children of your own to care for. I know you have been a blessing to those children while you were there, and I thank you for your time spent with them.
My God show you through your new adventure!
