Emerging Women's ReGathering

I returned last night from an emergent women's "re-gathering" in McCordsville, IN. It was an incredible weekend for me. I can't help but think of the line in a popular older worship chorus stating, "This is holy ground, I'm standing on holy ground. For the Lord is present and where He is is holy."

This weekend was holy ground for me. God was present in my life in a way that is near impossible to communicate in words, but here are a few that begin the process: confirmation, permission, acceptance, peace, direction. I am learning to confidently and humbly proclaim that God has called me to be a pastor. This journey may be long and fraught with both challenges and joys, but it is not a call from which I can turn. So I accept the call and rejoice in the fact that as I walk this road, I am not alone.
