Thank you for writing such a humbling ...Dear Terry,<br />Thank you for writing such a humbling post. I am encouraged by what God is doing in your life and love the fact that you were able to witness freely through God. So often, we try to determine what is best for us or where our lives should go. I agree with you in that God knows what is best for us and looking back at my life, I can clearly see that! I am not going to lie. Sometimes, I wish I had a crystal ball to see where God will have me go next. I have never been very good about waiting patiently on God, however I am now learning that waiting on God is the secret to growing our faith muscles.<br /><br />God bless you,<br />Michelle JensenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017532482760112091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125282466232202973.post-49810001045766628632009-06-22T13:31:41.796-05:002009-06-22T13:31:41.796-05:00Terry, I have read many of your blogs and think th...Terry, I have read many of your blogs and think that this is probably the best one you've written.<br /><br />I also struggled with what I perceived as to god's purpose for my life. I used to watch others serving God and wondered, gee, I love you too Lord just as much as they do. What do you want me to do? It wasn't jealousy that I felt but a deep desire to also serve God in whatever capacity.<br /><br />It wasn't much longer after that, that the Lord shared with me that His plan for our lives could be found in our passions. What are we passionate about. Besides loving and worshiping the Lord, what drives us and gets us up in the morning? Each one of us is a part of the body and have a predestination for a specific role to play in the body of Christ.<br /><br />The first thing I do after praying and grabbing a bowl of cereal on the way through the kitchen is to head for my computer and write. It is a passion for me and I firmly believe that this is the God ordained purpose for my life. I do wonder, however, why it took me so long to figure it out. I now believe that God has a timing for everything. God was preparing me for a time such as this as He was with you brother.<br /><br />Like you intimated to us concerning your life, I have also squandered my life, only in terms of purpose. I've done many things I'm proud of, like raising four beautiful and talented kids, done the best I could where ever I worked, and loved the Lord with all my heart but alas, I have squandered my purpose until now.<br /><br />Where would I be today and how many lives could I have touched had I received the call to write a long time ago. I think this is why I am so driven to write. Sorry Lord.<br /><br />I hope this helps in your quest for your purpose but quite frankly Terry, I think you've found it. Keep writing brother.James Lindquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05608122989130160872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125282466232202973.post-41189277188413240872009-06-21T15:15:53.519-05:002009-06-21T15:15:53.519-05:00Wow, you sound so much like me in the last 4 years...Wow, you sound so much like me in the last 4 years or so. Search high and low for that perfect job that I think God wants for me. Wasted many years doing this and the result was many attempts, yet not knowing 'for sure' if 'it' was what God wanted. Then I found a message coming to me in many different avenues, the Christian radio programs, church services, His word and such. The message was this. "seek ye first the kingdom of God and His rightiousness and ALL these things shall be added unto you". <br /><br />This is a scripture that I've known for my entire Christian life but never have I taken it literally. Now that I do, He has led me, not just into jobs as much as situations where a Christian was needed. Not necessarily to witness with words, but to witness with my lifestyle...always willing to be used by God. This alone has spoken loudly to the people in my life, whether it's my family, friends or those in a specific situation I'm led to be in. But the point is made. That following Christ is not just going to church and reading the Bible, but living it daily and applying it to all areas of my life and letting His light shine. <br /><br />Great post and wonderful blog. Keep listening for His voice. Your blog is something that God is using. Thank you for being obedient to Him. God Bless you!<br />Lindalooney2nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790004030106756436noreply@blogger.com
