The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?
Meet Barbara – her word for the 2023 BE Project is Serving
What word did you choose and why?
Serving
My goal this year is to serve wherever God needs me. Whether that is me personally, or together with my husband. We have enough contacts where we can almost always help others. I want to be able to help anyone that brings me a need.
I want to serve God better. I want to do more.
Last year, life changed for me. My husband had a stroke and I sat there and prayed. God answered my prayers. He’s answered my prayers for my kids many times over. I’ve just felt this calling that I need to do more. Not just for my family, but for my community. I just felt God pulling at my heart. He said, I’ve given you the things you’ve asked for, now I need you to be the person I designed you to be.
What would Barbara today tell a younger Barbara?
Love people more. Especially the ones you won’t have forever. Always let God lead you instead of you trying to force the path.
