I know that before I left San Antonio I promised daily blogs and updates but I've been so busy!
The Impact San Antonio Program has been LIFE CHANGING. I will blog about specific life changing moments at different times when I get back home or else this will be very long but this program during the GC session has changed my life. For more information about it go to www.impactsa2015.com
Tomorrow is Wednesday, July 8th and most of us know what will happen tomorrow. The vote that has been causing so much controversy will finally take place.
Many of you read my article post that where I spoke about my testimony and why it should be a “yes” vote... That has changed.
If someone were to ask me “What should I vote?” I would say “Don’t vote at all” While being at Impact San Antonio God has revealed to me that as a church we have let this topic distract us. Maybe it has been clear to some of you from the begining but it wasn’t to me. I came with the purpose to see this vote take place, little did I know that God had other plans. He changed my life while I was here, he did not bring me to see the vote, he brought me to speak to me and prepare for what is to come. I am not against women’s ordination, I just think this topic should be taking up so much time in the GC. Some have called Women’s Ordination a true “crisis” (Shout out to Doug Batchelor for that) Well you know what? That’s not the Adventist Crisis. You know what’s the Adventist crisis? The youth, the young adults. THEY ARE LEAVING! without them there will one day be NO MORE ADVENTIST CHURCH. Who’s going to preach the truth? Who’s going to keep going our truth and be leaders for future generations? I don’t know because 70% of our youth are leaving. THAT, is a true crisis.
I’m kind of hoping for a “no” vote at the same time... because that way we will see TRUE women of God RISING above the circumstances and we will show the power God has through all odds. I will not be discouraged by a “no” vote, I will rejoice and be excited to show men, the power God has through the odds and opposition.
And I know, “if God ordains us why can’t man accept to ordain us on earth as well” because this world is always going the opposite direction of our God. God likes working through adversity and I love when he does as well.
To the ladies out there preaching, KEEP PREACHING, deliver his word always regardless of circumstances. Fix your eyes upon Jesus. He called you, not the church. Let’s not look for recognition that not even Jesus got. If they crucified him and were against his preaching and ministry, what’s expected of us?
