Finding My Way

I have been spending the past few weeks just really reflecting and searching upon where I need to go. 

I feel that I have embraced my faith and am accepting my life alongside Christ and being completely honest and true to that relationship...now though, what do I do with that?

I want to realise my purpose and actively pursue that.  I know that God has a plan....I'm just waiting to figure it out.

I'm wearing my faith on my sleeve.  I'm not afraid to show how deep my commitment is to being a Christian.  I hope that my enthusiasm for my faith translates into all areas of my life.

It is amazing to me when I hear that I am reaching into other people's lives and giving them cause to return to a life connected to church or just energizing people with my excitement to my faith.  I'm astounded that I have any kind of impact like that on anyone.  I'm just so unused to such a reaction.

During Sunday's service a video was shown about the volunteers who run a mission with Ruth & Naomi's - and while it was playing and they were explaining that they have plenty of volunteers I had started thinking that we needed to get a some other types of local missions set up for the volunteers that are willing but aren't being used.  So I had started thinking along those lines and intended to contact the office this week to discuss that.

Well before I had a chance to call the office I received a call from someone else who is having that idea too!

It is moments like that where I realize that as my heart is opened I am brought to the action that I already desired.  Maybe this is part of my plan.  Local outreach just speaks volumes to me.  I feel that I've probably experienced so many things that I could really give a shoulder to others who need advice or just someone to listen to.

I have my health, I am strong, I am capable - now let me put that to use to push the path forward alongside Christ's design for me.  You created me Lord and now I need you to lead me upon the path of my future.

I pray that I can give enough of myself to really make a difference.  I don't want to find that I have not achieved my potential.  Or missed things that I should have been part of along the way.

I have felt such a dramatic shift in my life that I am trying to understand how to adjust the relationships of old with the new relationships....

well this post is all over the place, as my mind is just shifting around so much at the moment.....the musings are getting hold of me.

Will come back slightly more collected soon!
