Worship as a word in the Old Testiment is most commonly defined as service unto God. "To live a life of worship." For this next season I am steping into a position on base that is most often descibed as complicated, conflict attracting, and chaos. However, out of all the positions on base, accountant is considered one of the most needed. So here I am, one month into this season and already I feel like another life time has passed. I have been through every left turn (not right) and crash course to get me to this point where accountant in training-Ben Miller can survive for 2-3 weeks when the previous accountant has a family emergency back in CO she needs to work out. Joanne (a missionary in her uper 50s) has been teaching me the ropes and having a much needed break from the accounting department to work in the garden she loves so much.
So, my worship this season involves accounting, computer repair and upkeep, and driving vans full of students to various events. I help out at the local churches, play the sound board, and pick up trash, but the thing I love most of all is hanging out with Jesus. I love the way you can sing a song to Him and know He is there listening. I love that I can freely read and distribute the only ancient book of truth and wisdom that has it's author still around to consult.
The teams are returning from Asia this next week and I will have to make an update on what God is doing in the nations. I am sure they will have many stories.
Thank you all for continually supporting me in your prayers and resources. The Lord has certainly been with me this season and I have felt your prayers as I step into this new challenge that the Lord has for me.
I love you all, Blessings upon you
