Tiffany ~ This is why I love this site! Your post speaks to the heart of so many women connected to ministry. Often times we feel feelings but have a hard time expressing them through words. Thank you for your words today!:)

I can relate even now as I move forward in ministry school and where God has already placed me in ministry. Sometimes I wonder if all the work is worth anything, and then I see God’s amazing hand print on something that I am a part of and I am reminded of His power, His grace and His favor that comes from doing what he has called me to do. It is overwhelming at times without a partner by my side but I know that He has all that worked out in His power, grace and favor too. ;~)

Well since we’re confessing, I confess that I so relate. Sometimes the sacrifices seem sooo big … especially as the ministry grows. And even though I know and enjoy the strengths of my personality, I sometimes get caught in the weaknesses and feel like “Ministry would be so much easier if I were more _____ (fill in the blanks) and less _______ (fitb).” But, I know the trap of that type of thinking. So, like you said, I make the effort to refocus … refocus on His sacrifice that brought me the best news of my life, on how sooooo blessed my life is, on how I AM living my dream… the list goes on. The benefits so outweigh those costs that, yes, at times do seem burdensome. Thanks for sharing, Tiffany, and keeping it real.
