Our newly formed Stewardship Committee continues to dive into what is means to “Be a GOOD Steward” by putting our focus for this first season of stewardship into how we can best offer with joy and thanksgiving, our selves. To offer our selves in a faith context means a daily, conscious surrender of our entire being to God’s purpose. This is a not a one-time event but a continuous choice to let God lead.

For me, a way that I try to choose to let God lead is to follow the words of Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God.” In our over-stimulated world, it takes a conscious effort to shut out the noise surrounding us and to LISTEN to what God is saying to us. It’s definitely not easy. I find myself too easily caught up in the hectic pace of our world around us. Through this season of stewardship, I hope to better reconnect with God through prayer, renewal and seeking God’s will by taking more ‘Be Still’ time. By withdrawing and ‘being still’ I will work to allow HIS presence to fill the space where worries often reside.
