I had been attending a Bible study on the characters in the Old Testament. I
had noticed that over and over God gave people in the Bible something to do.
Some would run away, some made excuses, others said they couldn’t. I texted my
sister-in-law saying, “If God wanted me to do something, I would do it.” The very
next morning at church Connie Sabbann came up to me saying she had been
praying and asked if I would lead a new women’s small group. I almost fell over.
This was something I knew I did not want to do. I wanted to run away.
First I complained, then I prayed. I agreed to try…being still unsure that God
wanted me. I signed up to have training in a turbo group. The turbo group was
such a gift, and so I then agreed to lead a group, still not feeling that I could
do this, but God could.
We started our new small group and God put us all together. We are all quite
different from each other. God has a special purpose for each of us.
In September it will be one year that we have been meeting together. They are
wonderful, beautiful, and loving, and together we are following Jesus. I could not
have imagined such a great gift from the Lord. I call them ‘beautiful group.’”
-Beth Heintz
