Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!

God is calling me to live missionally.  Daily I want to ask myself the question:  How do I live my life today so that I can make a difference?  I don't want to shrink back from the hard things.  I want to be a vessel that God can truly use to further His kingdom.

I have often complained about opportunities that I have to serve:  VBS, Kids Club, Day Camp, teaching various classes.  But how can I complain about the opportunity to share God's glory?  How can I be so selfish that I want more time for me when the God of all the universe is calling me to declare his marvelous works among all the peoples?  Again my heart is stirred to pray more, give more, go more and live in a daily way looking for opportunities.

It was so cool because right after this particular service and my heart rising in commitment to the Lord, I got to share during our devotional time in our cabin with a 12-year-old girl.  Her home life is hard to say the least.  She told me that she just wanted a mama to love her.  I told her I love her and that I will try to be a mama to her when she needs one.  Come to find out, she lives just down the road from me!  Is God amazing or what?

I am trying to change my mind set.  My life is truly not my own.  I am bought with a price.  I am not my own master.  I am under the authority of the Commander.  Just where I want to be!
