So, I was told by someone in this group who shall remain nameless (but her initials are CC) that I have never written a blog...ever.  "Really?" I said.  That's strange, since I'm the one with the gift-of-gab.  My apologies, friends.  I will try to do better!

Let me start my first official Adoration blog by saying that we will soon be celebrating 1 year back on the road!  I am completely amazed at God's outpouring of love and confidence in us this year.  He renewed old aquaintances and created new friendships with our ministry and we could not be more thankful!  We have watched as God moved through us to touch lives - to HIM be the glory - and most often walked away more blessed than those in the congregations.  I am looking forward to the months and years to come.

As I reflected on this past year, I realized that I have learned so much through this ministry.  Most significantly, I realized that I (like many Christians) too often "lean to my own understanding".  I say I trust Him but often maintain control of my life, rather than fully surrendering it to HIM.,  Through this ministry I have learned to "still my soul" and listen for God.  As one of our old songs says "He still speaks...I know His voice".  If I wait on Him He will direct me and if I am going to be trusted by God to represent Him in ministry then I must be absolutely certain that HE is directing my life.  I am so thankful for Adoration and for the spiritual strength I draw from Monica and Cayce and our friendship and commitment to ministry.  What a wonderful year it has been .  I pray there are many more in our future!
