“Sit on the edge of your seat Kristi, don’t get too comfy, so that when God wants to move you, He doesn’t have to use a crowbar to get you up.”  I have held onto that counsel for a long time. And I have loved the edge of the seat…

In the last six months, God picked our family up from the place we were getting pretty comfy, Springfield, MO. I was semi-retired, not working and with Stan out of town a lot for his job, I was living a life of ease. I like easy, and straight paths. Who doesn’t? But I find that the harder paths have shaped me.

I watched God orchestrate a fresh call on my life to serve Him again in a leadership capacity. I am honored and blessed to be serving the Lord and His women at Chino Valley Community Church in Chino Hills, CA.

On Monday the 9th of January, at an event called COFFEE BREAK,  I will share some of the ways God’s sovereign plan for my new church family and me have intersected. I’m not a famous woman, not an author, or sought after speaker…but I know that I am His choice, and the confidence I have to cast vision and lead these precious ladies, comes from the truth of His Word.

Thank you to all of you, who have been a part of my story, and this shaping. There are too many of you to list. Your investment in my life is priceless, and I pray you will be blessed and He will be glorified.

Blessings,

Kristi

Being a resident of the “Show Me State” was appropriate, since one of my favorite parts of Scripture is the place Moses asked God to ….”Show me Your glory…”

Exodus 33:18. Here is their conversation:       17 The Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name.” 18 Then Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!” 19 And He said, “I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the Lord before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.” 20 But He said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!” 21 Then the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock; 22 and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen.” NASB

I love the answer that God gave him to this request,       “I Myself, will make my goodness pass before you.”

Have you seen His goodness in your life?

That is what my goal of writing this Blog is about.
