(This was the church we sang at in Florence, SC. Beautiful church.)
Sorry I've been Blog Slacking lately. Soon, I will be back to a somewhat normal schedule in a few weeks, promise!
We had a great revival in London, Arkansas this past week! The evangelist preached on salvation. Obviously such an important message. And even in such a small town, there were so many souls given to Christ as well as rededications, etc. I was so honored to be a part of it, so thank you, London 1st Baptist for having me along.
You know, this was the first time I have gone by myself to an event to minister. I usually have, at least, my husband along to help with the technical sides of things (and to keep me comfy, cozy). And I also usually have Aaron Daniel along as well. But not this time! God has really been challenging me lately to see if I'm up for the job in many different places in my life: Job-related, taking on other people's jobs, relationships, etc. He has been pushing me to limits to where I say, "No way can I do this. I am not qualified. I am not good enough." Or, "I'm scared. I can't do this alone..."
Well you know what? The "I can't do this alone" part? That's the absolute truth. I can't do it alone. But I can, however, do it with God on my side! If I just say, "God, you do it 'cause I can't," He will! I have to tell you, I have never been more nervous for anything. And I have stood in front of thousands of people before to sing, dance, act... whatever. But never have I done anything alone quite like that- being so alone with just my own words and music. In other words, I have taken on what other people have asked me to do: learned THEIR script, sung THEIR songs, did THEIR choreography. But not this time. It was all me, what I had to bring to the table. And God was so there! He didn't leave me for one single second! I spent so much time worrying whether or not I had everything together... and every night when it was all over, I was like, "oh. That was easy..." You know why? Because God was doing His work through me because I let Him know that through myself, I could do nothing. But through Him, I could move mountains!
And we did!
God is good. Really good. Don't be scared to be who he wants you to be. He's challenging you. He's testing you.
Are you up for the challenge?
Missed y'all much, Tara K
