My personal likes and dislikes: I like to go walking early in the morning, spending time in prayer, going out to dinner and spending quality time with my husband, I love to sing, and I love my two grandbabies.
My dislikes: Busybodies (people butting into other folks matters), dishonest people, gossipers, and people that are not real.
What I feel God is speaking to me about our next pastorate: That He is sending us to a people with singleness of heart and that are of the same mind as we. People that will think what we think, dream what we dream, and have similar if not the same goal and vision as ourselves. I believe He's sending us to a people that will be in unity with one another. We may have struggles, but for the most part I believe they will be a ready people that is ready for God and what He is doing through us.
What I'm personally looking for in our new church: People that are not only obedient, but also ready and willing to go to the next level. People that are hungry for God, and that are ready to put on sackcloth and ashes and cry out before God for the lost souls of our community.
What will I personally bring to the church: Commitment, loyalty, a spirit of prayer to stand in the gap for others and ministry in song (I love to sing sound tracks). I will give of my personal time as the Lord leads me, and I want to be a shinning example (especially to the younger women).
What the women of the church can expect of me and what I expect from them: Ladies you can expect me to lead by precept and example. We are in the service of the Lord, so therefore expect me to lead out by first serving the Lord, my husband and pastor, and you as a congregation. I will ask no more of you then I would of myself. And that is to be an example to the younger women, and the community in general. Ladies God made us to be beautiful so we should always be women of standard and principle. I would expect you to carry yourself and a respectable manner and always keep yourselves clean and neat in appearance. I will expect you to be women who are diligent and are very keen on taking care of your business.
Closing Remarks: There is a lot more I guess I could tell you about myself but time and space would not permit it. Hopefully we will meet one day and you can find out personally. These are exciting times for my husband and I and we look to the future with great anticipation. We both know that where God leads and guides, He will provide. He is faithful to perform and do all that He has promised us, so I just trust God's goodness! My husband and I continue to thank you for your faithful and prayerful consideration. May God bless you real good is my prayer!
