Yesterday I (Cindie) had the opportunity to share the ministry of IGN with the Congregation of Mayfair Presbyterian church in Chicago. Everyone welcomed me and made me feel at home and it was a joy to be among them.
During one of the services I was singing praise songs with the congregation and it occurred to me how calm I was despite having to talk in front of everyone in a few moments. Not only was I calm but I felt secure, at home, like everything was right and that I was exactly where I should be, with the people I should be with, doing what I should be doing. Now I am also a behind the scenes kind of person. I love to work the lights, video, anything NOT in the spotlight. So the realization that here at Mayfair Presbyterian church , as well as at other places I have spoken about the ministry, I was not nervous sent a very powerful message to me. It said that I was indeed right where God wanted me, doing what he made me to do, and that I did not need to worry about anything… he’d take care of everything and I just needed to do my part. As I sang I felt as I often do when at churches around the world; welcome, at home and united with other Christ followers in a common goal to love and serve God and love and serve people. The world felt small in a good way; like we are all in this together and together we can make a difference. Each of us finding the purpose for which we were created and acting on it. Finding the sweet spot where you feel you are exactly where you should be, with the people you should be with, doing exactly what you should be doing.
Thank you to all my friends at Mayfair Presbyterian church for your ongoing support, generosity, and encouragement. You are also in my prayers.
