Miss Good and Faithful Servant

As some of you may know, I have taken on a leadership position in my church. I am a trustee on my board now. I was "sworn" in the morning. I now have a 3 year commitment to this church, thus a 3 year commitment to Augusta. So all thoughts of moving away, are gone. I wanted to make this blog expressing my joys and concerns, and some of my responsibilities.

Joys- I am finally on my church board. I have had a desire to serve for a while now, so this is definitely fulfilling that. I've been wanting to know what is really going on with this church. To see it with my own eyes. Instead of just hearing it from my parents. Its not that I don't trust my parents, but I want to see it. I believe my church is on a verge of a change. Our stand in Pastor has challenge our church to come up with a new mission statement and to really search about what we think is the purpose of the church. Which is great, we've definitely needed that. My church is full of some amazing people. I'm more than happy to be apart of it. That church is home to me. I would never leave it, unless God left. Which He certainly has not. So I am happy to be apart of this change! I want to be used. I want to be an instrument. I've prayed that God would use me, He obviously has some plans for me, right here in Augusta, at that church. So, here I am.

Concerns- Now, I have some serious responsibility. I am a spiritual leader at a church. That is a lot of commitment. Leader, that word scares me sometimes. I am now held to a much higher standard. I represent this church now. In everything I do, say, etc. I am now a board member at First Advent Christian Church. Very exciting, and scary. It makes me want to strive to do better. I have been challenged lately, in my own spiritually life, to really be aware of my surroundings and what I'm doing. Now, I better be aware. Haha. I have some serious responsibilities. But, I am ready. I know I can do it. I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me. He is by my side, so I know I will do well :)

Responsibilities- In a nut shell, I am in charge of the up keep of the church. I can also be creative, like plant flowers, clean outside, etc. Which, I believe, I am fully capable of doing. Now, thats just my label as a trustee. The big responsibility, is that I help make decisions for our church. Being on the board. Voting, in the light of what is best for our church.

Craziness.

But! I am ready and I am very excited.
My first board meeting is tonight at 5.
Here it goes!!
