Where Do You Want Me . . .

God? I am waiting patiently. Well, as patiently as I can, since patience is not one of my strongest virtues!

The question isn't one of location or marriage or how I raise my children. Instead, it's a question of how and where can I best serve others?

I believe that God gifted me with a certain set of attributes. Gifts, if you will. Ask my children and they might tell you that I'm bossy. The correct term for that, thank you very much, is administrative. And I am very administrative. I like to organize. I adore being efficient. I can get things done. As I have grown and matured, I have gotten better at encouraging others along the way. (Versus yanking their jobs away from them and just doing them because I could do them better.)

I have administered fundraisers. Service activities. Events. Programs. You name it.  My entire career has been in administration (with the exception of those two years teaching. Where I was constantly frustrated with the Administtration!)

But I want more. I want to develop something that really, truly has an impact on lives.

I have a strong heart for teen moms. But every time that I've tried to put myself into that community, the door has been firmly shut. I've offered mentorships, scholarships, to facilitate a drive to buy a new van for our teen mom program at a local high school  . . . and every time, NOTHING has come of it. I mean seriously, at least call me back, would ya?

So I am waiting on God. To open the doors that He wants me to walk through. To prepare in my heart the vision that He has for me to best serve. I'm waiting on a big, big idea. 

Isaiah 6:8 says . . .Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” “Here I am,” I said; “send me!” That's the prayer that is on my heart.

I so relate to this. I find myself wondering the same thing. Ever since I read "Hole in the Gospel" -- I know I am intended to do "more". But figuring out "what" is the hard part!

I think that the "more" will present itself to us when we are looking and/or waiting intently. The waiting and deciphering is so tough! Praying for you as you wait and wonder what your MORE is!
