Could I Join the God Team? – FMF
Twenty-five years ago something happened to shake my trust in people. That incident made me build a wall around my family, my emotions and my body. For fifteen years I held back; I became a controller over everything and everybody; my body ached.
Ten years ago something changed – I found people who cared about the real me. I found a church were I could be exactly who I am. I found Christ. I joined a loving, caring community where I learned about God and His love for me.
My world expanded. I relaxed. My body healed. My mind healed. And my soul grew.
My friends accepted me – that is crucial. So I started to join the world again – a little wiser and more discerning – but I joined.
I stretched – and became an open, loving person. God showed me Himself and each day I learn more and more about His mercy and His grace as I study and be with others who believe in Him.
I joined God – that was a big decision. That changed my life. I let Jesus become the leader and I joined the team. Hallelujah!
I lurked on the Five-Minute Fridays for a few days only before I said, “Why not?” Such wonderful connections have been made.
God is building a new Kingdom – He is using Internet tools connect us together and make new disciples.
Have you joined the God Team?
Are you free to join in with other people? Ask God to help you break through that barrier. Tell me your story.

Isn’t it amazing what can happen when we feel accepted? Lovely post.
Thanks – and yes it is amazing and so freeing. First, we realize we are accepted by God – and that is all that really matters. Then we find there are other who also believe that and we are accepted by them.
Praise the Lord,

What a testimony you are!!
“My world expanded. I relaxed. My body healed. My mind healed. And my soul grew.”
I can’t think of a better way to describe what happens when we get out of the way and let God do His business. He’s in the people business after all..
So thrilled to meet you via Five Minute Fridays!
All for Him,
Nikki
Thrilled to meet you, too. Letting go of our agendas and letting God in – makes so much more peace and calmness. Thanks for dropping by.
