Words From Run It 2

I feel like there were three main words that were the focus for me at the women's conference. I think I've hesitated to share on my blog because I still don't really know exactly what they mean - only that they are real and God has placed them on my heart. I have the difficult task, now, of trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do about them. I know this is very cryptic, but I'm trying...

I don't know how to share all of this without pretty significant background in each of the three areas because the background is what makes it real for me. The background is how I know I can't dismiss the bits and pieces I've been getting here and there (truly since a child for two of the areas!) All of this is exciting, yet I tread with care because I have a tendency to get discouraged when things don't move along as quickly as I think they should. These things could be far in my future but I want to begin preparing now.

A significant ministry time sounded something like this as one woman prayed for me (I'm praying about two of the three things during this time as I feel like God is bringing them into the light for me, though I'm coming forth with a significant amount of doubt):

"You are qualified"
"You are called"

And I thought "but I'm dangerous!" (meaning lack of filter and a bit radical)

"You come with your list of disclaimers" (I liked that one, answered "I am dangerous")
"But it's not about you....it's about me" (Jesus)
"Don't despise small beginnings"

And I cried. OK God. I submit.

There's so much more to this - I'm going to share each word in it's own post in an attempt to organize my thoughts. We'll see how well that works out!
