Humble Pie

Once again, I had to tell Pastor Jason to get out of my head. That is why I'm completely devoted to the vision and future of Renaissance Road Church.
This past Sunday, Jason discussed the three life lessons he learned from working at Food Lion. The very first one was; Sometimes You Have to Grow Up. Now wasn't that similar to what my last blog talked about. How God was showing me that I needed to grow up...
The second lesson was; A Good Toilet Cleaning Never Hurt Anyone. Basically what he was saying that God will humble us, before he uses us. It's funny, I've always considered myself to be somewhat humble. I've never been one to boast about myself or my talents. I know that I'm nothing without God. Yada yada yada. But I tell you what...I've never been more humble than I have been this last week. Having to rely on others for a ride to and from everywhere...asking for help is very humbling.
The third lesson was; Everyone Wants to Push 21 Grocery Carts. To sum this one up, he was saying that sometime you will be God-contagious. That one day, everyone around you will want what you have. The hope, the love, the grace, the mercy that only comes from Jesus Christ.
I can only hope that through this experience that I can continue to show that it's only my faith in God that helps me endure. That through this experience I become even more humbled so that God can use me in ways I never imagined. That through this experience I glow with the hope of Christ to all around me and they want what I have.
I'm so thankful that God has brought me home to a church where He continues to speak to me. That He uses the most awesome family of Christ followers to lift me up.
Thank you God. And thank you Renaissance Road.
I love you all so dearly. And look forward to working with you all as we grow and dominate the triad.
