Prodigy In Me

This is the sermon series right now, and I'm trying hard to soak it all in and make something of it.  Some of the great quotes for this series:

• Will you embrace your misery and make it your ministry?
• Figure out what God designed you for and do it!  Pray for obsession, direction, and mandate from God.
• God will keep you in your sweet spot, but He'll never leave you in your comfort zone.
• God's strength is made perfect in my weakness, but His purpose is fulfilled in my strength.
• Nothing you have is something God needs, but everything you Have is all he will use.

I'm spending time trying to think about what this might mean for me.  I think the thought that screws me up is thinking that what I have to offer is too small.  I have felt like if God didn't have a big, BIG project for me, then it must not be something worthwhile.  I am reminding myself that big or small, God has given me something that he hasn't given to anyone else.  His purpose will be fulfilled in my strength.  I feel like I'm getting confirmation that He will use my writing.  I've gotten so many comments lately about notes I've written to people, or someone being inspired by something I posted on facebook.  I'm going to continue to pray that God will use it, big or small, for HIS glory.

Growing up, I wished I could sing.  Oh how I wished I could sing!  My sister could sing, but she didn't want to.  I used to pray and pray that if God would just give me the ability to sing, I would use it and sing all the time!  Well, someone told me the other day that he likes to write.  He said he isn't any good at it, but if he were, he'd write all the time.
Writing -- now that's something I can do.  It's all you, God.
