God calls us to "feed his children"....But there are so many.
God calls us to "make disciples of all nations"...I don't even know where to begin.
"Care for the orphans and the widow"...How do I get started?
So as I sit here in the laundry room ( My favorite place to do homework now) feeling completely and totally confused.
Where do I begin??
How do I start?
When will it be my chance to make a difference in the lives of those who so desperately Christ?
In chapel the other day one of the graduating seniors said
"How do we begin to stay...in a place where we are being trained to go?"
God is calling me to stay where I am at..so that he may prepare me to Go -->
I need to be patient, I know. But I've come to the realization lately that I'm not a very patient person. I want to follow Christ with all that I am...but he seems to make me wait a lot. And although, I know his timing is perfect, I just don't like to wait. I have always hated the word later and that's because I hate to wait.
My heart longs to love on these people. My heart longs to hold the little girl who is crying and tell her about my heavenly daddy. My heart longs to feed the starving children of this world. I want to love on all the orphans of this world. I want to play with the little boys in Africa that think no one cares. I want to give jackets to the people that are cold. I want to make meals for the sick. There is so much that I want to do. But right now....I have to stay.
I'm not sure why yet...but you better believe, I'm going to find out. I'll be waiting for the day when God gives me the go --> signal. So just wait and see... God is preparing the way and I'm going to be ready. Watch me.
So, this is a ton of complaining... Righteous complaining!
Which reminds me you should go listen to this by Shane Wood. It's Amazing! :)
After you listen to this...it really explains a lot. lol :) so happy listening.
