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.
This week has been one of the most challenging in some time. At work there were numerous projects due and not enough time or assistance to do it to the best of our ability. At times it seemed I was running on pure adrenaline. I've also been dealing with guilt. We've been attending a church for some time but not growing as much as we should. Attending a friend's church was a last minute decision one Sunday - and we loved the fervancy, excitement, and genuineness of the church. The church we now belong to has just a handful of members and I hate letting them down by not being there. I know it's more important that our family attend a church where we can grow and feel the Holy Spirit - but concern that our former church family is floundering and looking for the church to grow makes me sad. If only our former church would join with the church very close to it, I think both churches would prosper. Tired - yes, and probably no...
Thankful for all the men and women that have fought and served in our armed forces to protect our freedom. Without their dedication and sacrifice we would not have the privileges we have today. May God continue to bless our armed forces and those that serve our country.
