Did you ever think as a child you would be called to serve? I remember as a young person growing up hearing about missionaries or pastors or even evangelists and thinking, Lord I know you would never want me to do something like that. I don't know if I didn't think I could or if I was scared to death that God might ask me too. What I didn't stop to think about was that we may not all be called to another country to be a missionary, but we are all called to go tell "The World". God doesn't call the perfect people to do his work, he calls the imperfect. He calls those who have an imperfect story, because it is the story he has written.
For a few years, I have fought a calling. I have come up with every excuse, told myself people didn't need to hear what I had to say. I have told myself I was misunderstanding what God was wanting. I even told myself that people only wanted to hear about the "stories" they read on social media posts, and my story wasn't worthy of social media. Those posts are all fabricated in peoples minds to be what they want people to think of them. People don't want to hear mine! It's raw, it's real, it's horrifying, it's sad, but it's full of love, forgiveness, grace, mercy, me and God. That's when I got it. That was the moment I realized, maybe it does need to be told. Maybe others need to hear all the bad and the complicated, to see just how good God is. SO, I decided to listen to God, instead of doing all the t alking. Man, when you listen, I' mean truly listen to God, it is overwhelming how much He has to say. Now that I have started listening, He and I have such a better relationship. When I open His word I expect to hear from Him, and I DO!
Hang with me as I walk you through my journey and allow God to use me to help you through yours.
Love and Prayers,
The Faithful Farmgirl
God uses us, the sinner saved by grace, the undeserving, to show just the kind of loving God he is.
