Part of my self discovery revolves around growing spiritually. I am already doing a few things to work on this: daily devotional, writing out daily prayers, and then today I worked on two new approaches. First, I joined a church group designed to help you lose weight and work on self discovery through a study program. It is a good way to be held accountable since there will be weekly meetings to weigh in...not just on the scale, but on the study issues as well. I am really looking forward to seeing how the next 12 weeks go! :)
Secondly, we did a spiritual gift "inventory" at church tonight. Through a scaling system we evaluated 80 statements, then plugged them into a formula to see what some of our gifts may be. I wasn't all that surprised at the results, but a few of them will definitely give me some things to consider. It is one thing to think you will be good at something and another to truly evaluate where you can best utilize your gifts for the church. There will many mission opportunities this year and I am anxious to see which one(s) the Lord leads me to! Exciting!
I told my Sunday School group today that I feel like I am living inside a tornado. There is so much going on in my head, in my life, and hopefully in my future. As soon as I get a better hold on what's in store and how to plan for it I will feel better. Anxious is probably the best descriptor that I can come up with. Anxious for some peace. Anxious for some change. Anxious for some new beginnings. Anxious for my path to be made clear...at least clearer.
As I go along my journey it is very calming to know that there are people in my corner routing for me. They are there to advise, encourage, humble, listen, be a sounding board, question, and love me. How cool is that? Good thing too because before it is all said and done I know that I am going to need all that and more :)
God Bless,
Tammy
