God has given each of us unique gifts. Sometimes I worry that I’m not using mine to the best of my ability. Do I sink into what is “easy” for me, and not step up and use what He’s given me? The great thing is, He gives everyone different types of gifts to use in different ways.  Thankfully we don’t all have the gift of teaching (ok…at least I don’t!). Thankfully we don’t all have the gift of serving or prophecy.  I think it would get a little crazy if we did!

I’ve been thinking about how my life is about to drastically change and how my role is about to change. I’m praying that God will continue to use my strengths He’s given me and open doors for me to use those gifts. As well as being a great mom and focusing on my family. Not always an easy task in our busy world, but I figure it’s what HE has called me to do and put in me and it would be a waste to ignore that!!

My top 3 Spiritual Gifts: Mercy, Serving & Administration

I encourage you to pray about what your gift are and seek God on how you can use them. Or you can go here and take a quick test to figure out what they are!

I’d love to hear your feedback.

• What are your spiritual gifts, and what are some ways you are currently use them or would like to use them better?
• If you’re a busy mom/pastor’s wife, how do you find ways to still use the gifts God has given you and focus on your family?

Alright, here’s my Friday blog.  (Yes, I know…I’ve become a terrible blogger).

Last night I had the privilege of sitting with the Kingsfield staff to talk and dream about what is ahead for our church. 

It was different.

I used to work in full time ministry.  Now I plan events for a corporate, “worldly, if you will” company.  It was different for me to be the “outsider” in this meeting.  But I am learning a lot through this new prospective.  I so appreciate the importance that KFC (yeah… Kingsfield Church…KFC.  I love it) puts on the pastor’s wives.  Our voice matters! Heck yeah!

As we move forward with a really exciting adventure with our church, I am searching for my place to fit in.  I’ve been taking the sidelines for a while since we have moved, started with a new church, me at a new job, etc etc etc.  But how can I expect our people to step up and do something if I’m not doing my part?

This is where a huge passion of mine comes in: volunteering with your church. 

It aggravates me when people sit their hiney ends in their chair every week at church and do NOTHING.  Usually, they get frustrated with the way some things are done.  GREAT! That’s where you should be serving.

Are you giving back to your church? If not, how can you?

Do you get frustrated about the children’s ministry? SERVE THERE.

Do you get frustrated with tech stuff? SERVE THERE.

Do you get frustrated that the donuts aren’t layed out correctly? SERVE THERE.

Instead of complaining, make a difference.

That’s all I got.  I can’t wait to partner with our staff and help connect people to life in Christ! I can’t wait to help people see their potential in serving their church! What an exciting thing God has given us.
