I can't even describe all the many things that have happened since the last time I blogged. Let's just say, there is never a dull moment around here! You know the saying about Texas weather? If you don't like it just wait a few minutes and it will change. That's a pretty accurate description of what life has been like in the world of Davidson. Across the board, our lives look completely different than they did just one year ago. If you know me, I'd be happy to sit down and explain the details of how God has shown up time and time again to move things and work things out on our behalf.
Alive Church is thriving in New Waverly, in a God-given building that we could never have built on our own. A true testament to the vision and heart of our founder, Bishop Jimmy Davidson. We lost him in April of this year and that has changed the dynamics of both the ministry and our home. Sis Jackie moved in with us and we are all in a new home that we LOVE and appreciate - another testimony to the goodness of God!
Nate moved to San Antonio to go to school, even though his mom was not on board - but he had a plan and has done everything he can to stick to the plan - and we have all enjoyed watching God's faithfulness in His life. The other two kids are staying busy - Caleb showed out in a school performance and is really growing as a worship leader with his guitar, and Kathryn keeps us on our toes with her dramatics and typical preteen angst.
Personally, I have been challenged to complete a vision board this year, and I'm taking my life group through it as well. I'm not the dreamer in my household, I'm more the of the one who runs around trying to make things happen for the other visionaries in my world. So it really is a challenge for me to dream for myself. It's so easy for me to see my weaknesses and insecurities and let them limit what I think I can accomplish. Sure, I can believe God to do all kinds of things for and through other people. . . but for me? And it's easy to see other women of God doing amazing things with the extroverted gifts that God has given them and I wonder, what in the world?! I'm kind of at a new stage in life, without littles at home and I'm having to figure out what ministry looks like for me in this new phase. I do know that if I don't prepare myself to grow this year, then I will not accomplish what He has for me. And I'm not ok with that.
One of my items on the vision board is to read a stack of books. I have several on my list, but I wonder what books you might suggest I read? What author has stood out for you? It doesn't have to be life revelation, but I do want growth in every area. And now, my lap kitty has decided that she doesn't want my fingers typing and she is trying to stop them. It's painful. . . so I will take that as time to sign off.
