Hey Everyone,
So, since I've been in Eastern Europe, God keeps speaking to me about going. Not in the sense of go out and spread the word. Cause I'm already doing that. Its more of a reminder. Watch and see how I can use you Rebecca.
Too often I find myself frustrated because I feel like some of my gifts are useless during outreach (which is a lie) but I am often left wondering or trying to figure out how to use my art in ministry. For the majority of the race I've felt almost envious that my teammates could just take their guitars anywhere, sing a few songs, and its an easy way to draw people in.
For awhile I've pondered the idea of learning guitar but came to the conclusion that music just isn’t my gift. Never has been and I doubt it ever will be. God just chose to give me other gifts that are needed to build the kingdom.
But it still brings me back to the question thats been floating around in my head for some time. How can I best use art to reach people in the moment? Whether I'm in the park, at church, or visiting people. There is always the obvious…draw pictures with children or come up with a craft for them but I want to get beyond that. I want to be able to evangelize with it. Be able to really speak deeply to people through it.
The Lord has gently been reminding me that He gives me what I need…He equips me but its up to me what I do with it. Do I use it and let it grow or do I hide it and keep it to myself? This something that the Lord is still working on in me.
Along with art God has set other little things on my heart. I have felt the little tug on my heart a couple of times recently. Sometimes I listen to it and other times I ignore it. Has that ever happened to you? Where you feel the little whisper and then you have the choice whether or not to go. How often do you listen to the whisper and follow through? Or do you place it in the back of your mind preoccupied by other things that come up in life? Just some food for thought.
-Rebecca
