Be obedient, no matter how much the Master's plan doesn't make sense to you. Love your neighbor as yourself. Give to those less fortunate. Be generous Don't be afraid. He said He would never leave us or forsake us!
Take time to rest and enjoy the company of friends. Value, honor and enjoy your family, no matter how strange they seem to you. Whatever your lot in life, remember God is in control. Remember, you were divinely created with a purpose! A friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart and love jesus with all your heart

Amen, sister! LOL that sounds so cliche, but it is exactly what my first thought was after reading what you wrote.
I myself know that God has a specific calling for each of His people, and right now I am struggling to find out exactly what His call is for me. I am in my second year of university, but there are times I am doubtful that I am to be in the program I am in. I'm even considering dropping out for a year and going to Bible college to take a spiritual direction course. Either way, God is good and I know He wants to use me somehow.. i just need to allow Him to tell me that is

It is good to hear someone keep the vision before my eyes. Thank you very much for your insightful information. I've taken steps to walk in my ministry. But I must admit there has been a lot of oppostion. God is good, because I still have the desire for ministry. At first I used to wonder, how can I minister to anyone when I'm hurting myself. God is wise, and does not make mistakes. Because I have had to fight in certain areas of my life, I have a passion and strong desire to help hurting people. And God has brought healing to my life, he's still working, and most definitely is in TOTAL CONTROL!
I do minister through poetry, and speak and give sermons. But I know God is going to use me to write as well. I feel the power of God, and strengthed when I minister to others. So I know it's my call, and I believe God releases healing when you reach out to minister to others.
But I know eventually I want to do prison ministry.

I do. I help others as best I can. I am a certified nurses' aide in US. I have helped friends with their parents and special needs children when they need to have a break or just go to the store. I have cleaned people's homes when they can't. I really want to work with Habitat for Humanity but I currently have transportation problems & there are no buses in US that connect towns like they do in UK unless you can afford to pay $30.00 + for a 1 way ticket. So that will have to wait. I think that your ministry is whatever & whoever God lies on your heart.

Everybody has a ministry. Personally, I try to make my workplace and my school a ministry. All Christians are called to be minister, not neccessarily behind a pulpit, but in the enviroment that God puts them in. I believe that the whole purpose of a job is to not just better yourself, but to be a ministry to the people that you come into contact with in the workplace. Same as school.

Yes I do. I have two web sites that I minister to people through and I am Chairman of Men's Ministry at my church and minister to all whom come in to where I work. God told us to be an evangelist and to perform our ministry as seen here in : 2nd Timothy 4:5 = {But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.} So Back to the front I go to the Battle at hand.

Good Job Sara! Everyone has a ministry!!!
Our gifts are instilled in us at conception, and we have only to accept Jesus and pray for God to stir up that gift and then follow your directions.
Have you seen "Akeelah and the Bee"?? AWESOME movie!
Here is the poem that her coach asks her to read. It takes what you have stated and put it in poetic style...
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
We ask ourselves,
“Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?”
Actually, Who are you not to be?
We were born
to make manifest the Glory of God
that is within us
and as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
from~ “Akeelah and the Bee”

You must go to church on sunday. I do thus saith the Lord and it has diviided my family becasue they won't belive what the word says even if you put it in front if them.
Isa 30:10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
Luk 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

I don't have a set "ministry" yet. I'm a "new" Christian. I say "new" because I fell away (for twelve years), and I JUST recommitted my life to Christ a couple weeks ago.
So far I'm just doing the best I can to grow, and to learn. I'd love to get back to where I was, but it's hard.
