A woman’s ministry…why so complex, why so misguided--maybe it’s not.
What can I do for God’s kingdom? There has to be something Great. Something Significant. Some way. . . if only I was paying attention . .or something. God can use my life--right, but how? Often in church they speak about -service- about letting God use your life. Being great by serving and such. Where do I belong in this? What area can I be used and be effective. What can I possibly do anyway to show others His love and goodness. I only have time for so much. Much of my time is spent teaching at home. Taking care of my family. House, etc. When will this “Exiting” time come when my life can be used for the good of the kingdom of God?
And this question had me for a long time.
Then it hit me. My ministry IS in my home. It is my husband. My children. My home. ..and that is O.K. And it Is important. I can be effective. It's enough for this season of my life. I don’t have to go out and to “great” things...no need to establish a non profit, be a super mom who cooks cleans And makes a million selling strollers on the internet. To write books or to. . .you know something “Big.” Sure big things are fun. But that might disrupt my focus anyway.
