Hi everyone
Hope each and every one of you blesses and gets blessed today.
Here is the issue: A few months ago I was led by the Holy Spirit to initiate a Disabled Ministry at my church. I directed this idea to a person because she has a lot of experiece with the disabled and she is an ordained minister. The end result was that she asked me if I would like to do start this type of ministry with her. I agreed. Well, this person is setting it up, meeting with Pastors at the church and I am kept in the dark. At first, the plan was for both of us to present the idea to one of the Pastors. When the apppointed time came to meet with the Pastor, she said that "the Holy Spirit told me(her) to meet with the Pastor alone". When I asked her the reason, she said that she did not know. Over time it has become very clear that she wants to run the show. In fact, she has been referring to the ministry as her ministry. I am still working on my credentials and I will probably need her to mentor me in some future courses; so I really don't want to get too confrontive with her. I tried to tell her in a round about way that she is keeping me out of the loop, but she mrely tells me "there is really nothing to do". From what I can tell right now she and I are going to take turns preaching. So, if this plan is true, I will be preaching every other month. I am hurt that she became so controlling of the ministry since the ideas came from me. I recognize that the Lord birthed the ideas, but I don't trust her now since she has designed all the flyers and letters etc without me. I really don't like these power plays, but I don't know what if anything I can tactfully do about it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you all for reading this.
