Calling

Do you know what your calling is?  Do you know what it is God put you here on earth for?  I truly believe that we all have a calling.  Something we are good at.  Something we love to do.  It may be building things with our hands, cooking, working with children, budgeting.  It can be just about anything.  We all have something we do best.  Notice I said we do best.  Not we are the best at.  We do our best at it.  And are usually pretty good at it.

I have been lead for many years to believe that my calling is working with children.  I tried this for about seven years while Josh and I were not in a home church at preschools.  Something just wasn't right for me.  I wasn't allowed to tell my children about God.  How can we not tell our children about God?  He created everything!  So... to suck up my nervousness and try something new I attended a Children's Committee meeting last night at church.  And let me just say...it was GREAT!  No we didn't talk all "fun and games" but I got so excited about what is to come.  I was asked to help in the preschool Sunday school class that I said yes without even thinking.  Now I will be the first to tell you I don't know it all.  I don't know a lot about the Bible and God.  I missed a lot of that growing up.  My parents taught us but I was so young that a lot of it didn't stay in my memory.  But I can not get this off my mind!  I have this peace over me.  I am not the least bit nervous about it.  And that is very unusual for me.

What is God calling you to do?  What are you good at?  What talents do you have that you can use to help others?  What gifts has God given you to use?
