Where do I fit?

111208
1 Corinthians 12:18 But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose.

Paul speaks about how the Holy Spirit distributes these different gifts among the members of the body. Although each gift is different, each one is important to the body. God chose what gifts we would have and He arranged it according to what He chose. There is a perfect design that God has in mind for the body of Christ.

Yesterday, Dane was talking about how we need to enjoy this season that we are in. I had mentioned that I was trying to remain joyful despite the busy time that this is and he emphasized on that point. It's true that I'm so blessed to be doing what I am doing now. I am part of a very select group. I was chosen to use my gifts for this season at New Hope in the Evangelism department. But I hear God telling me today to "earnestly desire the higher gifts" and He will show me a "still more excellent way" (1 Corinthians 12:31).

So, what is my role? Where does God want me in the bigger picture?

I am a wife. I am a soon to be mom. I am new at both of these roles. I think those words wife and mom encompass so much more than people think of. God has huge job descriptions when it comes to these. I'm no longer positioned as an administrator in a church, but now an administrator of my home and family. Well, it's a lot to process. Maybe throughout today, understanding will be revealed to me.

Heavenly Father, forgive me for my sins. I repent and I ask that You continue to purify me and make me holy. Lord, teach me a still more excellent way. I love You and I desire to fit into Your perfect design. Lead me in Your righteousness today. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
