A new approach to missions. I have written about this in several different ways here and there. I have prayed that God would reveal to me where I should serve, cause as Christians we should all long to serve somewhere' right. I have definitely struggled when so many around me are serving in foreign countries or in the lowest part of a huge metropolitan city and I organize interest groups for ladies in my church and community. I have felt that I have fallen short of truly sharing God's Love with those who need it the most. God is working on those insecurities as we speak and helping me accept my calling of ministry to women. And even though I am still struggling with feeling unworthy in my goal to equip women to be women of God, I am learning that we all have our place and that if we are intentional in serving God blessings will come pouring out. So back to the broken heart...a new approach to praying for your mission. Pray that God will break your heart to a situation, any situation, because when our hearts break that's when we tend to act, wether we fly half way across the world or walk across the street and knock on the neighbors door we try to do something to make a change. Through this lesson I plan on stopping being so hard on myself, and focus on each and every situation that comes my way. Truly trying to help those that need me in anyway. I pray that God will break my heart to those situations around me and that I will be intentional to do whatever I can to share God's love through a platter of cookies, a conversation, a prayer, or even just a smile. There is broken ness all around us...we just need to open our eyes and see it. We are the solution to the problem.
