Small Groups

My husband, Dennis, and I are the hosts for our small group. This is the first time we have been in a Bible study together, it has had a wonderful impact on our relationship. My story goes back a few weeks when Chip asked us to surrender ourselves to Jesus completely. I have been involved in medical missions for the past 5 years; the Lord closed some doors for me to go to India this year. I found myself like a boat without a rudder. I was lost and feeling angry with God for this change. Then the earthquake hit in Haiti and the Lord very clearly said, "Go". It was with quite a bit of fear and trepidation that I decided to surrender completely to God and say, "Yes". A week later a local physician invited me to join his team. This trip is pushing me out of my comfort zone and pushing my faith to a new level. I am committed to surrendering completely, and let God use the gifts He gave me to serve, in His name, the people of Haiti. I honestly do not feel I would have decided to go if it were not for Chips sermon yesterday about feeling right sized. I feel quite intimidated by the caliber of the team members, but now realize I have God given talents that the Lord wants me to use. Thank you for the encouragement to step out.
