There are so many things that have been going through my mind since I made this decision to go into full-time ministry. What are you thinking Stacy? You don't know enough of anything to go into this full-time ministry thing. Then I remember what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:2, a scripture which God recently imparted into my Spirit.
"For I am determined not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified"
There is definitely a greater appreciation for those who are and have been in full-time ministry. I have realized that going before God empty and humble is the best way for Him to fill and use me. Now I'm not going to pretend that already I feel like I can't do this. These feelings are really just reminders that I really can't do anything, but God can do everything through me. So I continue each day to pour myself out at the feet of Christ and humbly wait for Him to fill me afresh and order my steps to what He wants me to do. While I wait I must be fervent in prayer and be obedient when the Spirit of God prompts me to act. So walk with me and talk with me Lord because I know that Your ways are not my ways and Your thoughts dear Jesus are higher than my thoughts.
