Two years ago, when I had just finished reading the gospels and the rest of the New Testament, I had a craving to do God’s work. I couldn’t sit still until he answered me, and I just thought I was going to waste because he didn’t respond right away. I needed to know what I was going to do, when, how and with whom! I cried out day and night for an answer or  a sign, something to put me to use. I took this very seriously and was not settling for something little.
I’m not sure he has answered me yet.
But what I’ve learned from waiting is that I AM doing God’s work – I am doing his will! I am seeking him, reading his word, loving him with all my heart and my soul; I’m taking care of my daughter, my husband and on and on. I’m being used in my job daily to do his will and work! Ya, sure, maybe some day it will be “bigger and better,” but I don’t believe in that anymore. He has taught me that it’s all “big and better” when it’s for him, no matter what it is. This was a difficult lesson for me to learn because I suffered under this for over two years! I would not let up on myself. I’m so grateful for this blurred vision he gave me for that time, which brought me to this clarity now.
 Inspire me
I ache to know my purpose
To know all I can do for you
Burn my fire, Lord
Answer me
Come to my rescue
Hear my plea
There’s nothing I desire more than to please thee.
