New Spark Plugs Were Installed

I think that God has a sense of humor. He has to. So as I have been blogging my life has been changing lately for the good, but not without a cost in other areas of my life. I have always said growing up that I would never go into ministry whatsoever because my dad was a pastor and well putting it nicely I have issues with him. He is a great man and was a great pastor, but fell short on the whole dad thing. So that being said this whole thing of me being shoved by God into the direction of ministry is "wow", but yet I am excited. So I was having a conversation with God and basically I was trying to feel him out.... I wanted to know what it was that I was supposed to be doing to start this whole thing... I wanted to just go into the church sit down with a pastor tell them my story let them know my passion and go from there... God told me "NO" I needed to go and volunteer and do whatever it was that they needed done for a little while. I had to start at the bottom. Ok fine. So I did just that. Wouldn't you know that thing that I really don't care to do the most is what the asked me to do... Trifolds... I used to have to fold trifold bulletins EVERY week for my dad, and I HATED IT! You know what though it wasn't that bad. Then when I was done with that I was given other things to do... I remember one night on my drive home I told God you know I could be doing so much more for them because I am smart and creative. I got Smacked in the face by God he said " You know what I could be doing so much more for you because I know everything if you would just move over and let me take complete control." WOW.... talk about being humbled... I get it. I am exactly were I am supposed to be. So for now I will fold, type, label, copy, clean toilets, do whatever it is with a joyful heart knowing that this is the time that God is stripping me of everything so that I can grow the way that I was meant to all along. I have never felt so excited and so passionate to help people and for them to know Jesus then I do now and it feels AWESOME.
