My current situation is as a writing teacher of homeschool kids--and yes it is a ministry opportunity. And I'm a co leader in a Sunday School class for the oldest people in the congregation. I would never have chosen that but I've learned to loved those people!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-19146239528439530772016-05-06T11:42:21.165-05:002016-05-06T11:42:21.165-05:00This is GREAT!

I did marry a preacher, but we've never been in full time paid ministry. But God continually sends us people that need encouragement and His love and mercy. A wise friend once told me, sometimes God brings the mission field to us. That was a life changing moment for me.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908195823729570648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-10645561077268574892016-05-06T10:24:16.875-05:002016-05-06T10:24:16.875-05:00Don't you love how God keeps growing us, even ...Don't you love how God keeps growing us, even as we get further down the pathway?<br /><br />Be sure to add blogging as another ministry that's bearing fruit for all who drop in to read your heart-words, friend.<br /><br />Weekend blessings to you ...Linda Stollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568264417855502332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-36226430711126850642016-05-05T23:19:56.535-05:002016-05-05T23:19:56.535-05:00It is so true we can use our gifts at church, in t...It is so true we can use our gifts at church, in the community, workplace, etc. Ministry work shouldn't just be confined to Sunday mornings at church :) Isn't it neat when you realize something through the Holy Spirit or when you read something in the Bible and you have an "ah ah" moment and pieces fit together? <br /><br />It is nice to be on a regular blogging schedule :) Love A/Z but enjoying the regular routine pace and not spending lots of hours on the computer :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-3303233705091897062016-05-05T18:42:10.151-05:002016-05-05T18:42:10.151-05:00Sometimes our own thoughts can get in the way and ...Sometimes our own thoughts can get in the way and cloud the path the Lord is trying to lay out before us. I have served in many areas over the years. It seems when one season ends, a new season begins. My spiritual gifts are faith, exhortation, prayer and organization. I have taught, I have been in the prayer ministry, I established Children's Church at are church, and now, I do the bulletin and the upkeep of our Church's website and Facebook page. I find God often has used me in ordinary and unexpected ways in my everyday life. You just have to keep yourself open to that still small (sometimes very insistant and loud!) voice and then follow through. It also always amazes me to look backwards at where God shaped me, guided me, etc. <br />Welcome back to regular blogging! ;)<br />Barbara <br />Visit me at <br /><a href="http://lifefaithincaneyhead.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life & Faith in Caneyhead</a>Barbara In Caneyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053601327400989802noreply@blogger.com
