So many of us have spent the past year of our lives in this tight knit community called the World Race. Some are half way through their journey and others are just beginning. We learn so much and become accountable for what God has taught us during this season of our lives.
What does God have for us when we return and re enter into society?
a job, school, start a family, go back to the mission field, move out on your own? We live in a World where our friends and family have a huge impact on us. An impact so big that it may drive us to doing something we dont love and aren’t happy with for the rest of our lives to to please them or to simply hear that they are proud of you.
God created this World. And not that He needs any of our help to advance the Kingdom, but He has chosen 5% of the Worlds population to HELP. Not to do it on our own, but to HELP. That means out of 11 billion people, 5% are called to full time ministry. 5% have been called to HELP God save the World. I dont know why He would pick someone like myself, but God has chosen me for this elite 5%.
That seems like a pretty big deal. If its not, let me know.
So, here I am sitting in the eye of the storm called LIFE. Do I get a job? I have been trying to get a job since the day I got home. Does God just want me to sit and be still? I feel like God has taught me what it means to live on minimal while traveling the World. And in the past month, He has taught me how to live in the States on minimal. I have been humbled in many ways upon returning home. I have sent more than half of my clothes to Goodwill. Now i’m not saying to get rid of all your things, but i have learned how to live on this thing called MINIMAL.
Upon returning, i found myself burring myself in every kind of distraction you can think of. Before I knew it, Satan had a couple footholds on me. God slapped me around and saved my butt again! Now after consulting with some very close brothers, I find myself sitting here and crying out for my God to come down and love on me. To come down and fill me with the fruits of the spirit. To show me the next step in my journey with Him.
Returning to the States after being gone for so long is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. But, the FAITH I have in Christ Jesus is all I need.
Galatians 2:20
I am praying through a Coke Cola job, and some ministry options.
God, continue to fill me with the fruits of the Spirit. Allow the fruits to be evident in my life. Allow me to discern your voice. Open and close doors as you guide me where you want me. Lord I love you and I thank you for everything you are taking me through right now because I know it is making me stronger for the times ahead. Bless the poelpe who cross my path and allow the people who cross my path to bless me Lord.
AMEN!
