This whole year I have been pondering things like:
Where and how are You leading me in ministry, Lord?
Where and how are You leading me in work, Lord?
Do I continue cleaning houses? Or is there something new God has for me? What about money? I have to make money to help with the family bills but- how much? Is it selfish of me to want to loosen my schedule so that I can do more ministry? And which ministry are You calling me?
I believe where God calls us to minister, learn, grow, share, encourage- is INHERENT in our new creation inner man. What are my leanings? The "ways" I go? I think I know- at heart I am not a counselor but I am a teacher. I LOVE learning- I love God revealing Himself to me- in me- and through me. Joy! I love to share these truths with all people. Who God is- and who I am because of Him. But what has God brought into my life in way of ministry? And how do I not get overwhelmed? It seems for me what I enjoy most is small group Bible study- women and men. I also enjoy going to the boys detention center in Jonesville.
But how do I NOT get overwhelmed with being here- spending time with and taking care of my family, work, ministry, family in Ky- and the churches/groups I am involved in?
That's my dilemma.
Praying that I get this straightened out because I feel like I waste a lot of time.
Jesus- lead me.
A child of God- beloved, holy, righteous, blameless, healed, forgiven, brand new, sheep, salt, light, a branch, temple of God, reconciled, a saint, God's workmanship, hidden with Christ in God, an expression of the life of Christ because He is my life, a partaker, a living stone- crucified with Christ, I no longer live but Christ lives IN ME!
