It has been surprising to me that so many people share such intimate thoughts and feelings on their blog sites. I share, but never felt compelled to share too much. I say this because, for some odd reason, I do feel compelled to lay it all out there today!

I have had a vast array of feelings and thoughts since arriving in this new appointment. A part of me thought that this was way over my head. Another part thought that this appointment would be a piece of cake...humility at its best, I know!

I realized today, that I cannot be anyone but myself. I may not be as "good" as the last guy... I may be "better". Either way, all that matters is that I am myself. God wants to use me. That is an amazing thought if you think about it.... God wants to use me! (He wants to use you too, by the way!)

I woke up tense today knowing that I had a United Way meeting. I ended my afternoon blessed, because I know God had me walk into our soup kitchen yesterday and meet a particular person who needed someone. I spoke with one of his family members today and she said she has been praying for someone (me) to come along side her loved one. God used me and my husband as an answer to prayer that was sent up by someone in New England. Praise God for that one!

Today, I felt at home! I know I am supposed to be here in this appointment. In all honesty, I had my doubts in recent weeks, but praise God that He is in control and His plans are exact and perfect.
