Last week I was invited to join the EMC (English Ministry Committee), and I accepted. So tonight was supposedly the sixth meeting of this year, and my first time. I have to admit that it was pretty awesome. It feels that I have power now, so I will begin to plot my coup to take over and rule the world!
All joking aside, I feel very privileged to be able to be part of the leadership group that runs our English Congregation. I do realize that I am the youngest in the committee by quite a bit, but I'm okay with that; it also seems that everyone else, at least by the looks of it, are quite welcoming to having a noob like me join them. I'm not quite sure what I have to offer to this group of experience and knowledgeable people yet, because throughout the meeting, everything that everyone said seemed very polished and well spoken. But, nonetheless, I will do my best to give input where I see fit. I would never have believed that my opinion meant enough for an invitation into a leadership committee that runs a congregation in a church. I guess that some people see something in me that I can't even see in myself. But again, I feel very blessed.
On a funny note, when we got to the topic of Breakforth in January, we somehow got into talking about getting as many people to go. And since we were trying to pull some numbers, somebody pointed out that if everyone in the committee brought themselves and their significant other, it would accumulate for about half of the total we need. Then I realized that I was the only person in the room without potentially having a significant other; and that kinda drew eyes towards me and a few laughs, but it's all good! I am still a teenager, and a child at heart, so my time will come, haha.
All in all, I look forward to all the different obstacles and challenges that I will face in the next year while on the committee. It feels as if I finally have some significance, lol. I've always wanted to end a blog post with "lol", so here it is.
LOL.
OH! Yeah, song of the day:
