I have been thinking lately about my calling - per my relationship with my mentor and a book that I am reading by Bill Easum. Being called to "the" ministry - is a duh... all christians are called to ministry (notice the no "the") - as a side note I hate the term layman or laity - it sounds like the person is laying down and letting someone else do all the work ( wait maybe that's what it is supposed to mean? - hehe) But I have been asking what is the specific thing that God has in mind for me to do with my life for His glory. I know that I am to plant churches and facilitate discipleship in people's lives - but what else? and how are these to be fleshed out in my life? Times like these both scare me and excite me - scare me because my life usually changes - but excites me because my life usually changes. No longer will I be as the Israelites wandering around in the desert - but I will have a vision to gain - and once someone has a vision there is nothing that can stop them. Nothing!
Lord, I want to be in the center of what you are doing - I want to be where you are in my life and in other's lives. Please help me to triangulate my life to you and help others to do the same. Amen.
