The verses God gave me as a calling are in Isaiah 61:1 <BR/><BR/> 1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, [a]2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn...<BR/><BR/>When I started my career I misinterpreted my calling as "preacher" and I worked as a full time staff member in a church. I finally realized that I couldn't do what God called me to do working in a church. I was so busy doing "good" things, like starting ministries, teaching, etc. that I didn't have time for people. <BR/><BR/>I think that many times our mission is the very thing that gives us energy and fulfillment. I also think that our mission in life may change depending on our stage in life and situation. <BR/><BR/>It sounds exciting that God is using you in so many people's lives right now. If this is where God wants to use you then you are fulfilling His mission for your life!!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469640527170481556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677490170517453419.post-60848837214595853552007-11-27T19:38:00.000-06:002007-11-27T19:38:00.000-06:00I have been trying to figure out just exactly what...I have been trying to figure out just exactly what my mission statement is. Since I don't have one, and since I have very few demands on my time, I am always offering to do things for people. What I have found is that I am blessed with more time and energy than I can ever give. I have been in situations in the past where I had many responsibilities and would over extend, so I do appreciate what you penned here. I am just wondering how you define your mission?<BR/>TMorneryswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702378853361498700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677490170517453419.post-44888774015655769992007-11-27T10:52:00.000-06:002007-11-27T10:52:00.000-06:00"but if God is pleased that’s all that matters!"Th..."but if God is pleased that’s all that matters!"<BR/><BR/>This is so very true!
