Finding your place.....
My pastor is always telling us that everyone who is holy ghost filled has a calling-- and should seek to find out what God has called them to do in his kingdom.
I know that my "ministry" at the current time is to work with the "Young at Heart" Seniors group.
It's not the only thing that I do in my church, but it's where my heart seems to be.
Have you found your place to work for the kingdom of God?
Is there anything that you feel you have a special calling to do?

Re: Finding your place.....
I have been invited to several different churches to tell how God brought me from being an athiest to not just a Christian but saved-sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost. I have gone to one babtist church and at the time they are wanting me to come back and give a devotional to a mens group. I have never spoken at a mens group before, ^^
It ought to be interesting.
I don't know if speaking to groups is what God has for me to do, but I do love telling how wonderful God is.

Re: Finding your place.....
Sounds like your pastor and mine are on the same theme, girl...
Bro. S keeps stressing the fact that we are one Body, each member having a function... a place.

Re: Finding your place.....
I think mine lately Tina seems to be get up out of my selfishness and do something instead of just sitting in church. It has seemed to be really impacting my heart and some of it is due to a few people here at AFF. Quit sitting at home doing nothing. Get right, and spread the good news.

Re: Finding your place.....
Well, I'm pretty much a smart alec, so I say my ministry is to make people laugh!
I used to feel called to work with children and enjoyed it tremendously, but my life has taken some pretty weird twists and turns the last 10 or so years, and I am still struggling to find "my place in the world" and the church. I focused for a long time on raising my daughter, but I think that the serious work with that is done. Soooo, still searching.

Re: Finding your place.....
Thanks Lar. I think I got lazy and selfish and just wanted to sit and take instead of get up and give and share. Hoping to change that.
