So excited to serve! What a blessing!

The past few weeks have been quite exciting! There is a special committee being set up at my congregation. I read about the committee and thought it would be fun to serve on it, but I did not think I was the right person. We have so many talented people in our congregation. I knew lots of people wanted to be on the committee, and someone more qualified than me would be the right choice.

Two weeks ago, I was informed someone nominated me to be on a committee. I was absolutely shocked someone had nominated me. I was flattered someone thought so highly of me as to place my name in the pool for the committee. One of the leaders of the congregation called me and asked if I would be willing to have my name placed on the ballot. I said yes.

This past weekend, it was election time. There were 17 people on the ballot for only 9 spots. I was overwhelmed with joy to be listed among so many incredible people. I knew I did not have a chance at winning the election. Each and every person on the ballot was more qualified than me.

On Monday, I received an email. It congratulated me on being selected to serve on the committee. ME!? I am on the committee!? I was blown away that such a blessing was placed upon me.

I am humbled to have been selected to serve on this committee. I hope and pray I can be a blessing to those around me. I hope and pray I am able to fulfill the role to its fullest potential. What an incredible blessing!
