By the grace of God and me continuing on his footsteps...I felt led to start a small group with my sisters in Christ. Incredibly amazed how this all came to be. I can't even describe my passionate feelings for this group. Knowing me, I love to lead...and what better opportunity to lead then in a God driven small group!
We started with 8 girls and now we are up to 12. We are currently reading The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren per request by the ladies. We meet on Thursday nights and have dinner together. We have time of fellowship and praise reports of the week. We talk about what we read in the Purpose and then we end with prayer.
I got to say, this group has been so encouraging and uplifting to me and to all of the ladies. I am so grateful with all this opportunity to learn and grow with these ladies. Also, we have so much fun in the process. Prayer is so divine and wonderful. Though I have struggled with prayer before, (me being raised Catholic and all), I have grown so much and I now lead the prayer meeting at the end of the night.
The way I see it, my calling of grace goes way beyond nursing itself. Lately I have become what people call a 'counselor' or a 'guide' in their lives and their decision making. Within this last week, I have had deep conversations with one of my 'guy' friends, co-worker, brother, and two of the ladies at my small group. And I got to say, I absolutely love it. I believe God gave me this energy, this patience, to take so much on and be able to touch so many lives in the process. I am currently managing a local coffee shop, I am a full-time nursing student, I am leading a homeless donation drive, I am leading a small group of 10 girls, and I am also making time for my boyfriend, my family, and people around me that need help or are struggling with life situations.......What an amazing calling of grace......So in addition to nursing, I will be posting my whole calling, my whole direction God is taking me on.
All I can say is....May God keep on leading me His Way, His Direction, His Path....so that I may please Him and glorify His name.
