“I am…” Bible Reading Plan: Week 3
Mothers in the bible verses is a four-part study written by Nicole Boyd. Nicole is the owner of Wonderfully Fashioned, a handmade jewelry brand featuring tattered lace and wire-wrapped gems. She wants to be a voice for women all over the world, stating that her pieces are simply physical reminders of the treasure God created you to be.

I grew up in a Christian home with my parents involved in ministry since before I can remember. They served as deacons, elders, youth pastors, and janitors until I was 14 and then my dad took over as senior pastor. I gave my heart to Jesus when I was four years old and was baptized in water at eight. I was also filled with the Holy Spirit at eight and started speaking in tongues. I knew all the right answers in kid’s church, but my walk with Jesus didn’t really start until I was eleven.
Every night before we went to bed, my parents would gather my three younger siblings and I and we would pray before bed. On one particular night, I felt Holy Spirit so strong on my heart and I began to cry. That was the first time I had felt Him like this, and I said, “I will serve you for the rest of my life, no matter what happens.”
Shortly after that night, I felt like God called me into ministry. At that point, I was terrified of talking in front of people, but I had several people tell me that He was calling me to be a shepherd of His people. I never wanted to be a pastor and preach in front of people every Sunday.
Now I realize that pastors don’t just preach at the pulpit. Sometimes they hold ordinary jobs and minister in the workplace. Or they are stay-at-home moms and raise up their children in the way they should go. You don’t have to be a ‘pastor’ to be effective in ministry. We are all called to spread God’s love!
