Serving God in a New Way

Tonight, with the blessing of Church Council, I became Council President.

It was a goal I had hoped to achieve, though not necessarily right now.

I have prayed about it, knowing I would be nominated. I needed to know, within myself, if I wanted to be president because of vanity, pride or a desire to be a part of spreading God's word by serving in this capacity. 

My faith has its ups and downs. My ego goes from high to the cellar from week to week. I hate arguing. I like everything on an even keel. Can I have any control over the way the meetings go? Am I strong enough to do this?

I need broader shoulders.

I have long ago forgiven those who hurt my feelings or made crude remarks. It doesn't matter in the end. Perhaps God will teach them to be kinder and gentler as he is teaching me. I am not who I was two years ago, or three, or five.

At any rate, it is done. I will see it through. God must want me in this place. I'll know soon enough.
