You Were Born For This



You Were Born for This… Serving People… you were born for THIS…. Helping minister Gods will to people… YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS… I just finished reading a life changing book by Bruce Wilkinson the author of Prayer of Jabez. It is entitled “You Were Born for This” Imagine a life where God uses you to complete miracles. Wouldn’t that be a miracle in itself? This book starts with how do we look at miracles? Do you consider these the laying your hands on someone and healing their blindness or their illness?
That is not necessarily the miracle we are discussing.

We are talking about the person who is short $100 to pay their bills and you feel led to give them that $100. Or the person who has prayed to God and said “If you’re real show me.” This book talks us through the Miracle key, unlocking the thought that ASKING God as Isaiah did to USE ME is something we should do daily. Then unlocking the PEOPLE key where we truly LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS WE LOVE OURSELVES… Next we read of the Spirit key unlocking our hearts to sense God’s nudges. And then the Risk Key, helping us to see that God wants us to take risks.

This book is full of personal stories of people who needed to feel God’s touch and proof that God is actively seeking workers. I have seen this in my own life. There were times when I was first married where we were very short on funds and someone from church would bring us groceries. These friends felt God leading to help us and didn’t know why.

Could you do this? Could I? I read this book praying about how much I wanted to put this book into practice. I read the first 3 keys feeling in tune but afraid to try them… The Risk Key was what I needed to read. I too often think that God would not lead me to do anything that is uncomfortable or that I am afraid of. Yet, why wouldn’t HE… Do not be afraid of your fear but know that God will give the strength, the peace, etc…

So are you ready to seek out opportunities to minister every single day? Are you ready to wake up and ask God daily “PLEASE Lord, Send Me! Put people in my path today that I can minister to. Nudge me and show me the people you want me to touch today!”

Imagine if all the Christians in the world lived like this? How would that world be different than the one we live in currently? Go pick up your copy of this book “You Were Born For This” by Bruce Wilkinson, today at your local Family Christian Stores or Randomhouse.com.

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
