just moved and back to ‘the’ work
We have been lead by the hand of God once again. I just moved across the country to Nashville, TN to be on staff at Cross Point Community Church. Ally and I are more passionate about people than we ever have been. I am certain that God has a gigantic work for us here and I can’t wait to fulfill that mission. I just dug through Philippians last week where Paul was showing the church how God is the one who is completing HIS work in us. I am so honored that God still has a work to do in me and through me. My heart and passion for the church is more alive than ever before in my walk with Christ. I love that I get to be back on the front lines of the church to do a mighty work on planet earth. I am also fired up about being on staff at such an incredibly healthy church staff…this place rocks! I am honored that He is not done with me.
Do any of you ever feel like maybe you aren’t worthy to be used by God?
it’s great to have you on the team bro! enjoyed lunch today and I look forward to spending more time together.
I’m not sure that I’ve ever felt unworthy to be used by God. I have certainly felt used though. And at times I wonder when my time will come. For me that’s a more common thought that being unworthy.
I’ve described this feeling before as being neck deep in water and not able to get wet.
Ususally when this happens it’s usually do to my unwillingness to be used. Or lack of awareness of God in me and the Spirits proding in my life.
Ah…Nashville is the greatest! You will love it there. I miss it and I’ve been away for about 6 months. That is a great city, with wonderful people and plenty of opportunities for Gospel-living. Stay fresh and focused. God will do great things.
Cold in Indy, Warm thoughts of Tennessee!

So excited that you are here! God is up to big things and we are so privileged to be a part!
Nashville is great! I hope you enjoy Tennessee! I work with Matt Giebler, I think you know him….up in Greenwood, IN. I was hired after he began transitioning into our senior minister role.
what’s up dude. yea, I felt for a long time that I wasn’t worthy to be used by God, especially in the way that He was telling me – then I “stumbled” upon Luke 5:8-11 a couple of weeks ago and started laughing because of the relevance – then I ran into you today and feel like some cool things are going to happen. welcome to Nashville to man!

Welcome to Nashville!!! My wife and I have been attending Cross Point now for approximately three months. I am stoked that you are on staff now. God is doing great things at this church. I hope we can get to know you over the next several months.
Just looked at the church website…looks AWESOME! I say a prayer for you and your family often. I know God has great things in store for you…and they are very lucky in Nashville to have you. Please tell Ally and the girls hello for us.
We miss you guys!
Blake, yes I have felt that often times. I am not sure why though. I think I just didn’t feel talented enough and the issue of being a woman in ministry has been a painful one for me so that sidelined me for a while and made me doubt that God could use me in ways that I am actually gifted for.
I enjoyed meeting you tonight. BTW, I didn’t realize why I thought I knew you til later but I’ve figured it out now. I’m sure you are beyond sick of hearing about it but thanks for one of the biggest laughs of my life. I’m truly thrilled that I have met THAT GUY.
Seriously, your warmth and welcome tonight was a blessing. I needed to SIT in worship and BE with God, not DO for God so tonight was great for me…..
