ROFL Oh my...
as my husband would think- What did I just get myself into now.....
Well I just sent a request to someone and i pretty sure they'll accept. I mean they've been doing their thang and I'm pretty sure they'll move and want to try to (what exaclty is it they say in the sales world, I forgot?...) "lock it up"
Well ok we just wanted to do our part and make our son feel good & all. Even the hubby went on his behalf. Because it was a Christmas thing he\we thought ther'd be a lot of visitors so we wouldn't stand out and wouldn't have expectations put on us...
We were right- sort of...but I didn't count on an anointing to hit me.
I say hit me- not fall on me (unlike what I plan on writing about later).
Yes since I'm caught up in the swirl of it all right now, relationship highs, people all about me it (for now) is like a swirling tornado around me- sucking me in.
So maybe, against what would be my better judgement, I'm goona take a chance and add this gal.
So what's the problem? Well let me say at the event this gal came and met us- welcomed us make quick small talk... then towards the end she came back to me and "made the sale pitch" ( I'm using these terms but I don't mock it, I just find it comparable to gifts & callings in the world)
She told me a bunch of stuff, asked me a few questioins (but not too many) She had us exchage contact info and she invited me to their Fri. small group meeting. LOL I thought that would be it, buuut then she took me over and introduced me to others who came to their small group. There were a bunch of women sitting at one table. She introduced me to all of them and then proceeded to take me somwhere else (where I can't remember lol) and then on the way she introduced me to her kids. It was so funny, she called out to them and had them stop what they were doing and say hi. LOL I guess they knew it was just mom "at work" "doing her thing". Then I asked her a questioin about the Bible school they have (for my son) and she then rushed me over to introduce me to the pastors wife so she could tell me (since she helps administrate that)
...whew on the way home I was thinking wow that lady really had a gift, I was impressed. I was thinking, "now that is the gift of leadership in action!" Before she scooped me up at the end, I had seen her running around talking to people, taking pictures at various tables. And, she had said when she first met us that we should've taken our daughter to class, that she was teaching in there. Aand that during her rundown, I aked her if se was online\had a page and she explained to me to go to the churches website and under staff elders there would be a link. It came out that she is one of the elders there. Not that that alone would impress me, but after seeing her at work, hearing all she does and sensing the gift of leadership all over her- I was thinking like "it only makes sense"...God makes sense, and his gifts & callings are w\out repentance...
Anywaay I was moved, impressed, inspired and reminded of God all at once. I also felt taken care of & encouraged too. All parts of a good, real leader. LOL now here comes my kicker and test...
I liked her (as well as respect & admire) it's obvious she knows what she's doing and the church knows enough in picking her to be one of the elders. Yes I would certainly give it a try in visiting her small group IF it wasn't for the fact that I don't think I'm supposed to be going to that church.
Why oh why couldn't she be over at where I'm going now??? That would have been perfect...
In fact it's exactly what i need and part of my current dilema. One would think that because the place is so huge, it would be easy to meet people, but it just aint so.
In fact I had been praying asking for God to help me get a foot in the door somehow. I was reminded of how God worked it for me in my beginning when I got saved. He opened doors, led me to meet key people, gave me favor... and things rolled right along.
Ug this is another reason why good leaders are needed- to help others get\keep moving forward. I've been feeling so stuck, there.
Happy, at peace, content- but stuck.
This lady also reminds me of other ladys I know who have the gift of leadership, Like Linda & S. She reminds me a lot of L. I must admit S was a gifted leader- but had character\heart issues which got in the way and did bring her down (but hopefully she'll let God lift her up again).
I did respect her leadership skills but we didn't get along personally, and I didn't trust her for nothing. I was proved right, but don't take satisfaction in that.
I'm just happy there are other leaders out there who have their motives & character yeilded to God. Hmm other ladies I know w leadership gifts incl.: TB, S.S. Barbara K, Addy (she NEEDS to get on FB), MH, LA, and of course how could I foget my friend AR... a leadership mix may also include teaching and or apostolic (which may make that gal a bit more distant\detached like).
So I wouldn't mind "following" this gal and I'm sure she could open doors for me there & etc.
... but I don't think I'm supposed to switch churches to over there. Rough call,
