In a funk...
I'm sorry for the lack of posting these last few weeks... I feel as if my whole world has been turned upside down lately - my time, my priorities, all of it - and it's not just baby excuses. I'm finally, yes finally, getting out of a slump. I'vebeen in a slump for the last year. My purpose in life, although present, just did not feel real. And I sit here today a newly encouraged and hopeful woman.
I have many passions - but one of the most prominate is my passion for arts to be used in a powerful way in the church.... I have not felt the freedom to use my gifts (and that passion) since taking my current job last May. The restriction wasn't placed on me by the church, however - it was my own fear. I've been a scared leader - and I'm not going to lead my teams scared anymore. I truly have been terrified of church becoming too showy... and I've felt that oh so gentle nudge from God just telling me to go for it - listen for his direction - and to take my teams to the place of creativity he desires. So watch out Crossroads and watch out world - I'm back in the game with a redidcation to my passions - and a new place of hope!

Emily,
I am glad Gods renewing has encouraged your passion for the arts to be peaked!! We at Crossroads will be blessed with your freshness and devotion to Him!
My prayer verse for you is Luke 9:29 where during the Transfiguration it is said:
"As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning."
May your work for Him be as bright as a flash of lightning!!
Bob
