Today was my last time serving and seeing so many lovely smiley faces at Hillsong Mesa (until I visit of course). Hillsong has been so good to me and I’m so thankful that I serve a God who loves me so much he’d put visions in my mind and love in my heart towards things that bring Him glory, and bless me with so so many people who support and encourage me every step of my journey. I’ll admit, when I first started coming back to church, I had no desire to be on a serve time. But over time and with prayer, I felt like it’s what I should be doing - to create a loving, friendly, welcome home atmosphere for everyone who walks through the doors. Not to mention the message today that Ps. Terry brought to our church really hit home for me. “You will never reach your highest and best potential if you downsize your vision to your level of comfort.” The vision God implants within our hearts and minds are something we shouldn’t just think about, but act upon and put our faith into action.
“You’re responsible for your obedience, and God is responsible for your results.”
God is working in my story so I can bring expansion and bring Him glory. I’m not the person that I once was. I am so much better, so much different and so much further along my journey than I used to be. I’m thankful for the growth and every single experience and difficult circumstance and tear I’ve shed along the way. I can’t imagine where I’d be standing right now if I was never obedient, forgiving, open-minded, and faith-filled. Just getting to this position of opportunity has been a faith journey on its own, and the journey has only just begun.
