Empowering Myself
By Mindy Johnson in General
This past summer around August-I heard a voice from the Lord calling me to help out a ministry in some of my "free time."

Now, the current state of my house reflects how much free time I have.  It's a complete disaster most of the time.

But I believe it wasn't b/c I had so much "free time" on my hands as much as it was God preparing me for one of my next missions.  Right now I am assisting a friend of mine in his fairly new adventure with a ministry called
Both Hands Foundation

This ministry serves to the widows and orphans.  James 1:27 calls us to help widows and orphans in the same verse.

I have never been in an office, really.  I did temp work at Thomas Nelson 15 years ago, but that was the closest thing to an office atmosphere, I think.  My office was the classroom and except for email and simple power point music lessons, that was the extent of my "handy office knowledge."
I don't know Microsoft Outlook as much as I should, and I certainly wouldn't be the most helpful admin assistant.  However, here I am, working two days a week volunteering my time for Both Hands.  I believe so whole heartedly in what the ministry does, that I find myself diving into learning how to be an admin assistant.  I may not be moving mountains now, but I am learning how to fly.  And when I get enough under my wings, I am going to take off!

And my house?  Well, it's still a mess, but I'm slowing catching up there, too.

And I truly believe God knew exactly where He wanted me, and whispered the plan in my ear in August, it just took a little while until I had more direction and the "go" sign.
