It has been an interesting time of my life. Lots of decisions to be made and yet ensuring that I am open enough to hear what God is saying. Lately I realize that it is so easy to go on with life and not necessary stop to wonder, what is Gods take in this.
Prior to coming on training with the Navigators of Uganda, (It is a non-denominational lay-focused Christian Ministry. Our passion is to help people follow Jesus and become His disciples. Our heartbeat is equipping the converts to learn how to evangelize and disciple others. It is the heart for the individual that motivates us to teach on one-to-one basis in small groups. Through this approach, we
-Invest in personal time with individuals
-Influence people to follow Christ
-Establish new believers in their faith and,
-Train them to reach out to do the same)
I had so many questions to God which I needed clear direction. I think I forgot the fact that God has the best intentions for me and kept fretting about the way forward. I took time off and went home to my parents, to have quiet extended time with God concerning my decisions.
I am so glad that after waiting on God he brought scriptures on my heart that gave me direction. Having been involved with student work before, my heart was still beating for discipleship but I did not want to just assume it was where God wanted me to be. The Scripture was 2 Tim 3:16-17, God made it clear that I needed more training which I would use in life wherever I would go regardless of what I am involved in.
2Timothy 3:16-17, 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 has been a key verse for me. I look forward to having the word of God come off the pages for me. That it will influence every key area of my life. That whatever decisions and choices I make will be from an over flow of studying the Word and allowing it transform my life.
I pray that you are equally finding your footing in as far as what God would have you involved in.
By his Grace,
Miriam
