From our Campus Worship Minister
Hi church family!
I hope you’re having a beautifully blessed week! I wanted to share a little “nugget” the Lord reminded me of this weekend as Micah was preaching on Uprooting Gossip. We’re in a series called Kudzu (aka “the vine that ate the South”), talking about the sins that try to take root and take over our lives. It’s been such a powerful and practical series, and we’ll continue it this Sunday with Week 5: Uprooting Fear. I hope you’ll join us!
Last Sunday, Micah read Matthew 12:33–35, which reminds us that a tree is known by its fruit—and that what’s in our hearts shows up in what we say. That really convicted me. Often when I’m asked how I’m doing, I say, “I’m tired.” Yes, it’s true that I’m tired, busy, and my house is usually a mess (LOL), but there are so many better truths to tell! I am also incredibly blessed. I am walking in the fulfillment of many promises from God—things I prayed over for years. I am healthy, I have a wonderful family, I get to lead worship every week, and I have friends who love and pray for me.
A sweet friend of mine used to answer, “How are you?” with “I am blessed and highly favored!” I love that. She always left people feeling lighter. That’s the kind of person we all want to be—someone who brings encouragement and changes the atmosphere for good. Personally, I don’t want people to see me with four kiddos and think, “Aww, poor thing… hope she doesn’t have any more!” I want moms to see me and say, “She loves being a mom of four… maybe I could do that too.”
Ephesians 4:29 says, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” (NIV). So let’s pay attention to our first response. Is it life-giving? If not, let’s choose a better truth—one that encourages and reflects what God is doing in our lives.
