God is so good

Since September, I have been wanting to take part in building a hospital ministry at my church. It's been a long process. Shortly after I came to my pastor to talk to him about a hospital ministry, he approached me and said that someone had quit her job because she felt led to work on a hospital ministry. How amazing is that?? Not too long after that, I had been listening to a podcast of Joyce Meyer and she was talking about how God will plant a seed and if you just let Him work, it will flourish. I saw that happening right before my eyes with this hospital ministry. I was obedient and presented it to our pastor and then God put people in motion to get this thing rolling.

During this process of waiting, my friend Sue, was working on some administrative duties for this ministry. She is so awesome! Her gift of administration and organization are spectacular. She's so good at it that I began to question whether or not I needed to be a part of this thing. Man, she grabbed the reigns and took off. As I have told her a couple of times, if I had been in charge of doing what she has done, I'd still be trying to figure out which hospitals to visit. I'm so thankful that God didn't allow me to give up on this ministry because it is going to be something special and I'm so honored to be a part of it.


We had our first meeting for the Care & Prayer ministry on Sunday. What an uplifting experience. We had about eight people in attendance with a couple others that came in for the packets and left. But the people that were in there were asking such great questions and if they stick with it and be obedient to God, they will be wonderful conduits of God's grace. I'm really looking forward to working with everyone in this upcoming adventure. If you go to Rivervalley church and are interested in this ministry, contact me.

  1. I have often thought that it would be nice to visit families of newly diagnosed Type 1 children while still in the hospital. I guess I just feel led in the areas of my life that touch me the most. I was thinking that there might be some confidentiality issues, though?
