It's been an emotional day, a good day, but emotional.

Enjoyed teaching my Bible Fellowship. We did a Bible drill game and had a good time. I'll miss teaching in that class, but will be glad to have that prep time free again. Also finished 2 other Bible studies this week. Was attending one on James and teaching one on godly living (Resolutions). Again, hate to see them end - glad to see them end!

Tonight we had round table discussions on worship and discipleship. Was interesting. Hard to tell what the guys are thinking, but they clearly already have some ideas on the direction they are going to move us. I have an anticipation about the future, especially with Kenneth Priest on board. The more I learn about him the more I think the staff as an unspoken agenda. Don't take that wrong - it might be a great agenda.

After the meeting tonight Melissa was talking with me and she thanked me for being an influence in her life. She said I probably didn't even know the impact I'd made on her life. I didn't. She said I was so strong and had such a good heart. It's funny what others see that I don't. It also reminds me that people are watching me all the time.

As I was headed out the door Sonja wanted to introduce me to her husband. Her hubby kept saying how much Sonja thought of me and that she spoke so highly of me. Seriously? I would have never met her if it wasn't for the Resolution study.

After all that I talked with Donnie about the future of local missions at Hillcrest. He said the discussion hasn't really been done yet but that Justin Smith will be over all missions and that he loves my concept for local outreach ... if I lead it or not. That's the second time he has phrased it that way. Hummmm.

The staff is clearly making a lot of plans for the future and I am not included in those discussions. Donnie did say they are putting together some groups to look at things and I should be included in those ... should be, is not will be, so we will see.

See the emotional roller coaster? Praising God to hear women's lives are being changed through the efforts of the women's ministry and the power of the Holy Spirit. Wondering what the future holds for my ministry through Hillcrest.

Interesting times we live in!
