You may have heard of a little organization called Proverbs31 Ministries. If you haven't, you owe it to yourself to check it out here. There you'll meet Lysa and Renee, whose transparancy will remind you that we're all in this spiritual walk together. Anyway, Proverbs 31 hosts the She Speaks Conference each year for those who feel called to ministry through writing, speaking and leading womens ministries. I am currently leading the women's group in my church, but find myself struggling with choosing the right curriculum, giving the right encouragement, promoting our group, and even how to write my own devotionals for the group. This is what the conference teaches. My only hesitation is the money. While the cost is certainly justifiable, it isn't cheap. And my finances, like most, are spread thin already. (Remember, we are self-employed!)
But, there is hope. I have the opportunity to win a scholarship that would cover everything except my travel expenses. This post is my entry into the contest. I know its a longshot, but I'm stepping out in faith. I constantly struggle with feelings of inadequacy when it comes to ministry. When I struggle to increase attendance for our women's group, I often think that maybe God is trying to tell me that this just isn't in His plan.
HIS plan...not mine. That's what I want to follow. So, I will trust God here, as well. If it is meant to be, God will make a way. Otherwise, I will continue trying to do my best to be a good servant.
