We are all qualified. If your church doesn't need your particular skill set - pray about it and find a place that needs you and where you can be used. Each of us has a job to do and we need to be actively working. I heard from a dear friend today who asked to minister to others in his church. He had a very willing spirit and didn't want anything in exchange. No one was interested enough to help him grow. Don't let others steal your joy! Don't let others hold you back! Let God rule your life and don't listen to those who try to curb your desire.
It is weeks like the ones lately that I'm so thankful for my family and friends. It's a reminder of what is truly important...and what is not. Sometimes I have to let things slide - helping out at church, getting together with coworkers, accepting another volunteer request. I try to not feel guilty but it's still a struggle. I want to do everything but my body is not able to. I'm learning that it is good to find a few moments to get away to a quiet place and bask in the Lord's peace and just listen to Him. It restores my soul and body.
