I'm different...after the rain...

While I was in Florida helping with the disaster relief effort, I discovered something about myself....I dig ministry!!! I felt like this is what I was made to do!!! This is what it means to put feet to motion, to be Christ to the wounded and broken-hearted. To give drink to the thirsty.....WOW.....what a huge blessing! I believe that I was part of something bigger than me.
Very cool experience.
Now, I'm home....something I can't quite put a finger on is missing. It is a general sense of restlessness that nothing I do seems to fill. I am involved in what some people would call
"ministry" at my church. I teach a missions class to 4th and 5th grade girls that teaches them about being Jesus to people in our community as well as learning about mission work abroad. I also direct our Children's Drama Dept. at church and we emphasize evangelical messages in our scripts. I help with Children's church and have an extensive community of fellowship there, at my church....Those thing don't seem so important anymore. I want more...to touch people in an impactful way. I want to go to Africa and help with AIDS- orphans, I want to adopt a Chinese baby, I want to take my daughters to remote jungles and build something....for others.
Yeah...I'm different now. Stay tuned to see where God takes me from here.....
