11 Things God Taught Me

  1. Vulnerability is key in community.
  2. There is no shame in my testimony.  God has been walking beside me since I was a little girl and He has showered me with blessings, protection, and His abundant love.
  3. I can hear the voice of my Father and His Spirit guides me.
  4. The Lord overwhelms me with peace and strength in difficult times if I just look to Him.
  5. I can be confident as a leader when I hear the Holy Spirit speak to me.
  6. I can’t be an effective leader if I am trying to be a people pleaser.
  7. Give complete control over to God (in ALL things) and then have peace and a good attitude when not in control.
  8. My pride gets in the way so easily and I think I can do things on my own.  Every day, I need to come before the Lord in humble submission, recognizing my desperation for salvation.
  9. Community can be really messy but it is not something that should be avoided.  The difficult conversations produce understanding, love, and trust.
  10. Give thanks and praise the Lord even when the situation around you might make it hard to.
  11. God is always God and He is always good!  He never changes and is with us through all things.
