Sunday, in our hearts and publicly, we were recognizing and confirming our call by God to ministry. We understood at this moment in time that we had gone through a period of discernment and training related to our call and then was authorized to take on the office of ministry.
Let me just say I was full of emotions that came out of nowhere. I thought I was just going to walk in with Justin, here the pastor preach, and he would give us a certificate. That was not the case at all. A few of our best friends were there in support and, of course, Justin’s family.
There were several pastors also being ordained, a few of them being our best friends. We were all called up front for laying of hands and prayer over us. It was at that moment the LORD broke me. It was so special being next to my husband and our best friends. I knew what they were going through, the calling God had on their hearts, on our hearts, and also the new places God was calling some of us to. I wept. I was overwhelmed with much emotion. I desired so much of our hearts to be consecrated and that the love for ministry would be renewed. I felt so empowered.
I was emerged into the ministry with Justin and we are both ready to take on the role as a disciple more than ever before. That is living out the life that we read, hear, and speak so much about.

Oh wow! It is a journey and what an amazing way to "send" you! There is just something about God's people and how they love one another-so precious. I don't know what I would do without them!
