We all know that God calls us. We don’t all know what He calls us to do…. I have struggled so often with this. God what is it that you want me to do. How can I love your people like you want me to. How can I be your hands and feet extended? And as I am seeking His will, I am shown the day to day, the seemingly small interactions with people are a part of my ministry and yours too.
God places people in our path every day that need Him! EVERY DAY! You can change a life EVERY DAY! By being His hands! Giving someone a hug, reaching out and serving someone who is weak or sick. Paying for the person’s coffee, baysitting for that young mom who has no one else. Telling someone that they look nice, thanking someone for their kindness or hard work. We have so many opportunities. I have been seeking His will and His direction, and He has been directing it all along.
Now I am not saying that there isn’t more. That He doesn’t have something else, but I am just saying that as you are seeking and desiring His will, use each step along the journey.
I am really excited to be able to take a journey with a Christian counseling center for pregnant women. I have been feeling his call for me to serve here for a while now. I just didn’t know how I could financially pay for the class to become able to counsel these girls. You know what happened? My small group leader Yvonne mentioned how she knew that God was calling me into ministry she just hadn’t had confirmation about where yet. And then I mentioned Grace Connection to my small group leader at church. And she said that they would pay! WOW GOD!!!! I was blown away. I didn’t even think to ask God to send someone to pay for this. But God in the midst of my desire sent the right person to talk to me about serving.
This weekend was supposed to be a weekend away with our church family. But my kids have the flu. Matt took my oldest and youngest and I stayed home with Preston and Sophia since they have the flu. I was tired. I was worried. When Sophia’s temperature hit 105.4 I was scared. BUT GOD! My mom came, my friends and family were praying, and today this morning both Preston and Sophia are no longer out of it, are no longer running fevers, and are playful and happy.
I was so disappointed to not go away this weekend. But staying home has allowed me to listen to church on line. My home church in Winchendon Massachusetts has a new pastor, And he is wonderful. I don’t often get to listen to his services, but my desire is that I can make the time each week to listen to it moving forward in 2018.
Today my prayer for you and for me is that you begin to realize that yes God has called you and He has an amazing plan for your life. But that He also has amazing plans for every step of the way. God’s got you, ALWAYS
GOD BLESS!!!!
Beautifully Blessed
