We’ll let the testimony take the spotlight. ❤️🔥
“My burning bush
I’ve always said ministry is messy. From late phone calls, to repeated conversations, never ending healing, and constant shifting seasons. I wanted it all. I wanted to be in it and I didn’t care as long as I could help people and point them back to Jesus.
Until I became a mom. It seemed like never ending influx of hormones, emotions constantly up and down. The toddler phase comes around and then the toys!!! Picking up the same toys all day long. I’ve always wanted to be a wife and a mom, but it definitely was nothing of what I expected.
I went from college graduate, to fiance, to wife to mom really quick. Praise God, until I started to feel like motherhood and mess were getting in the way of what “God was calling me to do: ministry”
Fast forward: When Rachel came to talk to our women’s group at church she spoke of Moses and the burning bush. I’ve heard this story before I thought. But not like this, she said Moses was just doing ordinary mundane life, but God invited him into a Holy moment. She asked, “Where do you spend most of your time?”. Immediately I thought “I’m just a stay at home mom. I spend most of my time at home.” Yet the weight of feeling like I had so much time to spare and yet not enough time with God.
She continued to teach and then ask, “Where is God Inviting you into a Holy moment? (What is your burning bush?)”…
THE TOYS!
It all clicked
The toys I had been complaining about picking up, were my ministry.
As we began to paint, she said, “Spend time with God ask him to reveal a word or phrase to you about this moment.”
My “ministry is messy” shifted to “the ministry is in the mess”
I was able to see my toddler and my husband with a new perspective. I was busy trying to catch what I thought God was trying to give me but in reality he had already answered so many of my prayers just not the way I thought it would go.
I’m grateful for Rachel’s revelation and her obedience to share it. I’m not a painter in the least but the Lord showed me exactly what he wanted me to see so this was my best version of my burning bush moment. ❤️”
