Sel # 7 is 17!!!

Yup… we’re one year older! By gosh, I feel old seeing the young ones rise up! Felt like a proud parent when the Discovery Rangers came up to me with their certificates *sob sob* Ahhh… Ok no more sob stories. As I sat back and watched the anniversary unfold, I realized having been in the ministry for so long, much has changed. People have come and gone, while others have stayed on rooted themselves there and seen change. The years spent in the ministry (from a little girl to now looking after little girls and boys) I’ve reaped and gained so much. But none of it was possible if sacrifices were not made. TO BE ABLE AT ANY MOMENT TO SACRIFICE WHAT WAS NEEDED FOR WHAT WAS TO COME. The leaders before me sacrificed what they could in their moment because they saw greater things ahead of them and the potential in our lives. I couldn’t help but recognize the deep immense potential in each one of the younger ones myself. The question and reminder is “Am I willing to sacrifice what I have for what I see in them and what is to come?” The reality of things is that people will only reach their fullest potential if one is willing to lay down their life for them and see them for who they are in the eyes of God and not in our own minds.
