Calling



Calling

A calling…. Why do we always start with ‘a calling’?
Do we really believe we have only one?! How limiting.

I’m called to be a daughter of the King of Kings. I’m called to seek after Him and to turn from the world. 2Chronicles tells me if I humble myself before Him and turn from the world He will hear me in Heaven. Oh wow. What a simple ‘call’ to make. It requires only my willingness to participate.

A calling… not a job. Not work. Not one task or many. Something to live for…not to merely exist but to be as much a part of me as I am of ‘it’. What is my calling? Of course, I’m called to be His and to obey His commands. Then what?

What is my calling?
No, what are my callings?

To be rich in love,
To be filled with joy,
To allow the passion He created in me to flow freely under His Almighty hand that others may be loved!
To listen.

Ah, to listen. That is what callings are really about… I can not fulfill a call I do not hear. I can not live callings I do not know exists. Lord, help me see not as the world does, but as you do that I might be able to hear your call above all else.

Upon hearing the Lord God Almighty’s call, let us all know that some days there may be a single call to simply get up and try. Other days there may be many callings to live not with in the Earthly confines but in the parameters God meant for us to live by.

Callings…from the Creator of all things… to fulfill not as the world calls but as He would have me to.

Five Minute Fridays

Five Minute Fridays is where Gypsy Mama ( click here to visit her blog ) encourages everyone to write for five minutes. No edits. No over analyzing (which is the direct opposite of how I work and that's why I participate so I can get out of my comfort zone, learn, and grow). You can join too! Just write (or think) for five minutes. Today's topic is 'unexpected'. Unexpected Unexpected can be so good…. Like when that kind person at the grocery store with a full cart lets you in front since you only have a handful of items… Or when your friend calls you out of the blue just to say hey…. When you receive a gift just because…. Those kind words from the person you had no idea you meant anything to or even had an affect on… People can do things so unexpected. Then, there’s God. I know He is the Creator of everything. He loves unconditionally. He provides all things. God will never leave us or forsake us. God is always with us. God always has a plan. Still, when Go...

Steadfast Love

         In the last few weeks, I have been struggling… I can see all the ways God blesses me. All the ways He provides. I know in almost all my posts since I started writing on this blog about two months ago have been about how God takes care of us. I’m telling you it is like an annoying habit! You focus for just a few days on what God’s provided for you, and then it becomes a constant way your mind works. (It’s kind of like how people are doing 30 days of thanks on Facebook. I know it seems redundant and maybe even a little annoying to you, but you see for those people posting daily status updates on thanks has become a habit. A way of life for them.)           So, what’s my struggle? It is about love. Do you ever wonder about love? Why does your friend love you when you know your singing gets on her last nerve? Why does your significant other love you when you would rather recount your entire d...

Five Minute Fridays

I follow several blogs, but there are only a handful I read daily including Rainmakers and Stormchasers, http://www.jennyrain.com/ . Jenny has a blog friend who does Five Minute Fridays where you write on a given topic for five minutes, post your writing unedited, and encourage others to do the same. Today’s topic was 'Remember'. Here's my unedited five minutes on 'Remember'...(What did you do on your lunch break?).... Remember...  I remember those times… with family and friends… Those long seemingly endless summer days at Memaw’s with my sister, brother, and cousins…I remember waiting on mom to come in for lunch…And those special days when Aunt Barb came too…Oh the days we spent at Aunt Barb’s…I remember loving… Then, there were those mornings before school where we all gathered around the breakfast table…Memaw always prepared a feast…we would argue over who’s turn it was to say the pray…but I remember all the other conversations were so good…I remember ...
