This weekend I went to Athens to visit my family and to be there to hear a potential new worship leader for my dad’s church. I had a great time with them and enjoyed getting to just hang out and not have much of an agenda. We ended up shopping most of the time which was something I don’t do much on my own anymore for whatever reason. Fun fun!
Sunday evening my parents and some people from their church had plans to go to their associational meeting which was more just a big worship service rather than a business meeting. I decided to go and it was really cool because they had worship teams from a bunch of the different churches come a lead us in some worship songs. There was a black men’s ensemble, a koreans worship team and then the worship band from Midtown Bridge Church in Atlantic Station. The guy who preached was Tyrone Barnett – AWESOME communicator! God really spoke to me through him last night! He preached on Judges 6 and talked about how we need to get out of our pit of making bread (read the story and it will make sense) - in my case it is business and start doing what we know God has called us to do.
I have really been struggling lately trying to figure out what God has really called me to do. I love so many things and could easily go a number of different ways but my heart and passion is for the ministry. I just have no idea how God can and would use me. It’s easy to find areas to serve as a volunteer in the church but to be in fulltime ministry as a girl – without sounding too sexist or whatever, there just aren’t as many options out there. I am just praying hard core right now that God would reveal His plan for my life to me – even if it’s just piece by piece. I know I got a Psychology degree for a reason, and I know that I am where I need to be for now. I just wish I could see more clearly and know what God has called me to do in little further down the road.
I am excited to find out but once again it is something I am going to have to be patient about. I am so blessed to be where I am but I just know that God is calling me to accomplish bigger things for His kingdom. We will see…!
Once again…I’m being called to wait well.
