I was almost asleep when a sudden urging to share something with you came over me. I work, have worked with some of the most amazing women at my church. I have spent my life avoiding working with women or when that was all that I had, I would keep myself to myself as much as possible because of my trust issues. And then God just one day presented me with the opportunity to work with some of the most awesome women upon this earth. And well I just need to tell you about them.
I love sitting either at my desk or at the table in the work room and listening to them. I love the decision making skills. I love how physical ailments present them with challenges to overcome and not reasons to complain and use as a excuse. I love how their lack of knowledge sends them running to each other asking what to do. I love listening to them one the phone with volunteers. They encourage and sustain as well as lovingly ask for help. They are amazing. The young respect the older and the older give the younger ones space to do what they are gifted to do. I am awestruck with their honesty when they mess up and how their sinful nature when it raises it ugly head gets graciously and politely taken care of. I love how much everyone of them loves God. How they let His spirit pour into them. I am grateful for how wonderful they make me feel no matter how they are feeling. They always have time to make others feel important, hold us all accountable but worthy and useful and to just love each of us with everything in them.
They work so hard to find places for everyone willing to help even those that might not be very helpful. They patiently work with each person to find their best fit. It is amazing to watch and wonderful to see as they work on the ministries and hold up our foundation and make our Pastors look good.
And our Pastors have this amazing commitment to their flock and I love them all. But I have to say for the first time in my life, I actually, absolutely love working with women. Working with these women.
