Shepherding calls rock!
So, today i had a shepherding call with a couple elders in my congregation. I love shepherding calls because they are so encouraging and they just make you feel special. It's like a shot of spiritual adrenalin which everyone needs sometimes. So i was in service before my shepherding call with two people in my hall and they were talking about times in their life when they have struggled financially and how jehovah really helped them to make it. So, i have never been in that situation before. I have never been to a point in my life where i was like,"Jehovah, you have to do something here because i am at the end of my rope!" On the other hand, i know jehovah has helped me out in a lot of ways. Sometimes though, it's easy to forget how he's helped you when you haven't really gone through really hard times. But the elders helped me to realize that being able to pioneer for the past 5 yrs is proof that jehovah has blessed me and the fact that i have been in spanish for the past 4 or 5 yrs and have been helpful( even though i feel like i haven't been)is also proof that jehovah has blessed me. So those are things i never really think about but are definitely true. So it just made me appreciate jehovah more and all the things he does for us.
