I've been thinking lately about how God places many different calls on our lives, not just one defining "job" or purpose. He has given us all gifts to use to further His Kingdom, whatever they may be. That's the hard part, right, discovering and then using those gifts for Him. There are so many things I think I can do with this short life. Sometimes it seems like there isn't enough time to accomplish even one or two of those things, that I get overwhelmed with the thought of even trying! But with His help I'm believing that I can do more, "all things through Him who strengthens me".
The Mighty Singer (I read that term in a novel recently), who sang all of creation into existence, wants to see His children prosper and thrive. This life is a wondrous journey full of unknowns and surprises. I'm only just beginning to see the potential! To see the world the way my kids do, through wide eyes, full of possibilities! I'm excited as a new school year begins with my kids, to see all the things we can dream up and do this year together!
I like this post, Kelly. I actually returned just to re-read it. Your post reminds me not to forget all the many ways I can minister and serve the Lord while I am engrossed in doing it one particular way. Throughout my day, throughout my week, throughout my life, God may choose to use me in many different ways, but all to glorify Him.
