True, authentic, real life, totally revolved around people ministry has been on my mind lately.
- What does it really mean to live a life of ministry??
- What does it really mean to live life together as a body of believers?
- What do you think??
I want to be totally devoted to showing Christ's love through my actions and the way I live my life. I have been thinking and pondering (almost on a daily basis) what I want to do with the rest of my life. I've been racking my brain and trying to decided what kind of things I am good at...the things I'm passionate about and the things I absolutely love.
I'm good at singing, God has given me a gift and I want to use it for him...but that's not my calling I'm just good at that.
I'm passionate about people. They energize me. I love being around people. People inspire me to do better. I want to serve, care for, listen to and be there for people. I want my life to be focused around other people. I can't wait to have my own home..where people are always invited. I love the atmosphere when people get together to just hangout or to watch a football game ( I know nothing about football...but if there are people around I will watch it). I loved when I was growing up...My parents would either go to a small group or have one at our house. I loved going or having people come to our house. It was what I looked forward to during the week. Know that on Sunday afternoons, people would always be coming over.
I absolutely love kids! Anywhere from newborn and up. I love them. I love seeing them learn and explore new things. I love reading to them and watching the eyes grow big as they look toward the sky in wonder. I want to love on the lost children and I want to comfort the hurting children. I can't wait to have kids. (well, I can wait...but you get what I mean) I can't wait to watch them grow up. Kids bring so much joy. They see people for who they are and could careless what you look like, talk like, dress like or the people you hangout with. Kids are some of the most forgiving people I know, they will love anyone. They are truly a blessing form God. Kids are a great reminder to us. They have taught me more things that I could count.
So after all this I still don't know what I want to do. I would love to go into missions, but I would also love to be a teacher or run a daycare. One thing that has been on my heart recently is just...being a mom! (I have had the best mom as an example. Because of her and the great example she has been to me... I know I can be a great mom) I could teach my kids and love on them. I could have a home, where everyone feels welcome, no matter what. I want my house to be warm and inviting. I want people to come over and watch football games on Sundays. I want to host a bible study or small group. I want to have game nights and food. I want to have movie nights and just have people stop by to talk. Being a mom gives me the opportunity to be involved heavily in the church. Where people should always be the focus. I could use my gift for singing in church. I could also help with the kids. I want to do behind the scenes work and be the person that people come to when they need help.
All this to say...God is working on me. I'm not sure where he's leading...but I know he's leading.
Do you have any input on this matter??
What should I do with the rest of my life??
Where can you see God leading me??
Another thing that has been coming up a lot recently is love languages.
What is my love language you ask?
Well I'm glad you asked :)
My love language is quality time. And if you know me at all...you can see this in my life. This is how I show love, receive love and perceive love. The people that mean the most to me are the ones that spend time with me. I feel love when someone wants to spend time with me. I've been thinking about how love languages effect people and me and they really do. When it comes to me I love when people take time out of their days to call, text or spend even just a small bit of time with me. I love spending time with other people and I LOVE when they spend time with me.
Basically...I have decided that I really want to be involved in ministry. I want to be heavily involved in ministry. And really if you think about it. Ministry can be anything. :)
