Ok Chrissy you got me thinking...

I went to the link you posted on your blog and took the test. (see results below) One thing that amazes me about God is just when you think you don't have a gift for something, He shows you otherwise or that you are capable at least of doing what you thought you couldn't. For myself I thought I would be ok as CE chair when I took it on at our church a few years ago. I love kids, I love helping others and nurturing. Boy did I suck. I guess I did ok at helping to devise a plan for our insurance company on CE issues but as for the rest - forget it. God being so amazing knew this and therefore put an end to my CE days. Praise God. So, then I'm thinking well, I do want to serve God and my church so I wonder what I can do. Again God took care of that for me. I love our Pastor. Chris is amazing - very smart, motivated, loving, forgiving and most of all driven by God to do His work. More than anything I believe this guy just wants to serve God - do ANYTHING God asks of him. So of course I trust the guy. That is I did until he approached me and asked me to consider the church treasury. Then I immediately thought Chris had lost his mind. So I prayed about it, thinking the whole time I asked for God's direction that I would say no. You see I failed math in high school. Had to get a tutor just to graduate. I hate math and anything to do with figures. Our family budget is a joke so what on earth was I thinking even considering this? That's just it - I was thinking "on earth" not spiritually. Now I know, if God wants you to do something, even if you think you can't - you can do it. He will see to that. I have been the treasurer for a year now (that is with great help from Ralph and Chris) and was just asked today if I would stay on for another year. Of course I said yes. I'll only stop if God directs me to. I am His servant - in all I do. I desire nothing more than to serve my God and do it willingly. My prayers were answered (and always are), because I have learned more as treasurer this past year and now love doing it more than I ever would have guessed. You see I based my ability (or lack there of) to be treasurer on my "earthly" experiences. He proved to me I have spiritual gifts I never knew of - see in administration (treasury) I only scored a 9, but He knows with His help I can do anything!!! And now I know it too. Oh and these were my test results. :-) M. (Thanks Chrissy)
