So I totally never thought I would ever be saying this, but...I am now an official lifeguard!
It never ceases to amaze me all the opportunities that I have had pretty much handed to me this past year. God is so good! I've had the opportunity to go to Norway for worship evangelism and ended up on the dance team (which is something I've ALWAYS wanted to do, but always been afraid), I've gotten to write two short devotionals for Ron Luce's new book, I've gotten to speak with hundreds and hundreds of youth pastors througout the year and encourage them as they reach out to this generation.
I have had a chance to develop my skills as a worship leader and play in the prayer room on campus, I've had the best family core on campus who have encouraged and inspired me as I've pushed myself physically, mentally, & spiritually in ways that have grown me as a woman so much!
On top of all this, I was certified to be a lifeguard this week as the ministry payed ($175.00) for select individuals to go through the training for this summer. THIS is a HUGE blessing because if I DO end up on January ministry team, I would need to go back home and work & raise funds for my G.I. (graduate intern) year. Now I won't have to pay to renew my first aid/CPR certification for a job at a preschool!! =) It's also a miracle because I have never been the fastest or most athletic woman and I know that I was chosen to be in this training for a reason. The instructor we had used to be a marine and through him pushing us and creating a sense of urgency, I came to the realization that I am never able to do certain things because I limit myself by thinking in my mind that I can't do them; therefore I set myself up to fail. If I could continue to tell myself that there are no limitations, with Christ on my side...there is NOTHING I will not be able to accomplish; whatever that may be! :)
The Lord is so good and faithful!
