One of the things that we will be doing is sharing the events in our lives that have made up who we are today. It was interesting to me yesterday in my small group, that I seemed to get more question than some of the other participants about how I ended-up as a minister and not only a minister, but an interim minister and consultant. Each time I was asked on of the variations of, "How did you decide to become a minister?" I could only answer that there is just not an easy way to answer that question. Once upon a time, I would tell the story of when I was 14 and first felt God wanted me to be a minister, that I said I would not do it and how my heart was eventually changed. Yet, the longer I do this and the more I become specialized as a consultant and interim, I become firmer in the understanding that it is not any one story that can be told to explain how I have gotten to this vocation.
In addition, anyone who knows me, knows that there is no better way to make me angry than to put me into the box of minister. While minister is part of my vocation, it is just one part of what I do -- personally and professional (I just signed-on to help a friend of mine run the campus rep program for his family clothing business). For me, if you really want to understand my vocations, you must understand and know the many pieces that make-up this girl.
So, I have decided to take a bit of what I will be doing in Leadership Charlotte and apply it to my blog each Monday by starting Make Me Monday. Each Monday, I will share a story from yesterday, 10 years ago, or many moons ago -- stories from my past that have made me who I am today. I hope you will enjoy reading all the crazies pieces of my life that have made who I am today.
Have a Great Week!
