This afternoon at church I got the opportunity to speak to Pastor David Charles and his wife about some of the concerns that I was having with the Deaf. It was an unplanned meeting but a timely and encouraging one. I felt as if I needed to have that conversation with them and that God orchestrated that meeting.
I spoke to them about my feelings of inadequacy and as I was talking I began to get my own revelations along the way. I remembered Jeremiah who thought he was too young and Moses who thought his speech was not good enough yet God used them. As I spoke to them, I began to speak to my soul. I am so grateful that they were there to listen and offer godly advice. Often times I feel like I'm alone and I supposed that's why I was feeling overwhelmed but I thank God that He has been placing people in my life to help me through - David and his wife are definitely a couple that has helped TREMENDOUSLY. I am able to talk to them so freely and express the things that are on my heart and mind. I thank God for them.
Well that evening while talking to a friend I got another revelation: PURPOSE VS PRESTIGE. I realised that sometimes the people around you would want you to pursue something prestigious in life like what the world may view as a 'good' career. I have come to see that Purpose is more honourable than prestige. Being in God's will and serving Him is the best thing to pursue! Is there a boss to be preferred over God? I concluded that it does not matter what people are saying and what they want for my life, what matters is what God wants. I have observed that when I focus on God, He takes care of everything else.
"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26
