SO VERY THANKFUL
Today's reading: 1 Timothy 1-3

"How thankful I am to Christ Jesus our Lord for considering me trustworthy and appointing me to serve Him, even though I used to..." 1 Timothy 1:12

I know, I know, Paul wrote the words, but I take a personal claim to them--because that's my testimony in a nutshell!

To think, He's given me te privilege to lead a great group of gals in Bible study each and every Sunday morning? Amazing, considering who I once was!

And? Well, I'm holding the awesome responsibility of teaching the littlest ones in church this morning. What an opportunity for this one who was once lost!

A young boy to raise for Christ? Given to me as a gift? As if I'm supposed to know how? Someone like me should have never, ever, been given such a blessing in this life!

A family to reach for Him? A lumberyard to impact with His presence? A neighborhood to mark with His mercy? A world to minister to? A church to work in?

Never in a million years should I have been given the privileges Christ has placed in my life. I am so very thankful to God for considering me trustworthy and capable of sharing Him!
