My commissioning

Sunday was a big day.
I have been feeling like something wasn't right, something was missing. Well I found something that filled that spot. It happened on Sunday when I was commissioned at the 11:00 service. They did it during the time for children and it was perfect. I played with my ring the whole time and was on the verge of tears as I looked out into the eyes of my church family. Bob asked me 4 questions that I wanted to stop and break down but couldn't before I answered and then next one was asked. I tried to speak loudly and clear. I looked into the eyes of all around me.

Jesus Christ in my Lord and my Savior
I will with God's help

Then it was time for the congregation to answer. Will you pray for Megan and keep her in your thoughts........I saw the connections and thought of a covenant. A three way covenant. God has his a calling for me. I trust my church family to pray for me and my church family trusts the Lord to bring me home safely. I loved this picture that came to mind. The pressure was no longer there. I am connected and now know all the true support I have on the side lines.
This was the missing piece. I now feel complete. I'm now ready to go to these children. I have never been so thankful for my church. It means the world to me to know how much they care and are proud of me. This is why the community in a church is so important. I trust them to pray for me and I will do my best to do all the things God calls me to do. I hold them to that. You do your best and I will too. I looked at the children and thought how I was one once and thought of all the children around the world. I'm ready. To fly.

I thank my church family. You are my back bone. You have helped me become the women I am today. A servant and follower of Jesus Christ.
