Who I am....

So let me introduce myself...

My name is Rachel and I am a Christian.  A year or so a go I have a calling and a vision to create a Womens Ministry within my church (Solent Community Church), the vision pushed the ministry into the surrounding area, other churches, across the country and then the world.  It was one amazing vision!!!!  My Elder had already had a heart for a women's ministry in the church but at the time needed someone to help the plan come into fruition.  My idea was to use this blog to show the story of its birth, for encouragement for others, for prayer requests from me, and lots of other stuff.....

This morning I was watching Joyce Meyer, and she spoke about perseverance and not giving up.  As most of us experience when we get a vision or an idea we jump in with both feet and try to make it all happen. I am so like this! I was all for the women's ministry and had all these ideas - some we started straight away others, we waited but then about 6 months ago I fell flat on my face and pretty much gave it all up.

But how do you give up a calling?  You can't - not really, not without it eating up your insides.  The Holy Spirit is an amazing and powerful creation. So here I am again, starting again, more aware of my limitations and weaknesses and gifts ready to push this vision forward.

We have a wonderful team of girls on our ministry, with such amazing gifts and I am looking forward to the journey.
