I am in the initial stages of discernment for ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church. The process has been on hold with the fourth Bishop of the East Tennessee Diocese retiring and the fifth Bishop, chosen on July 28th, moving to Tennessee. Once the fifth Bishop is settled in things will move forward.
Nearly a couple of years ago, I had shared with you the Words from Psalms 43:3 where God had led me back to the Episcopal Church. I had previously attended the Episcopal Church some in Washington state. In Tennessee, God has worked a miracle where Will, my spouse, and I are both attending. This is a miracle because in time past, Will has not wanted to frequent Church since we were rejected at a nondenominational Church in Washington. Now, Will and I both enjoy going to a Church where we are welcome.
At the time that God had spoken to me through Psalms 43:3, He had also spoken to me through Psalms 43:4-"Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God." The Words are all prophesy still being fulfilled.
God has led me to St. Timothy's Episcopal Church where I shall go to the altar to praise Him on the harp. The 'harp' I have is a classical guitar. It is on this musical instrument that I shall eventually praise God because I am still learning to play. Today, I had my guitar blessed by Reverend Harry Shaefer to set it apart for glory and praise to God. Amen!
