The Will of God

God's will...its a tricky subject. People try to find the will of God/gods by Ouija Boards, Fortune balls, praying to their ancestors, and every other thing imaginable. Why? Because people are scared of the future. They want to know whats going to happen.

If you had asked me five months ago whether or not I was going to serve at Pinedale Bible Church I wouldn't have been able to give you an answer. Was serving here God's will? Well I'm here so I am going to say yes. Did he have something better planned for me? Possibly I don't know. However, this I do know. I am here for a reason. I may have little experience when it comes to ministry but God wanted me here for some reason. People poured into me while I was here and I got to pour into people that I hope made some impact on them. 

Was this internship hard? You bet! I put in at least 300 hours of working with kids over the month of July alone. Was I discouraged? You bet! I still am somedays! But, looking back, if I had the choice to do this summer over again...I would still have chosen Pinedale. Because this is what God wanted me to do. I don't know what God wants me to do tomorrow. Who knows? Maybe in six months I will be in Kenya helping build a well! Or maybe I'll be serving at a church in Boise.

What am I trying to get at? I can hear you asking this now. Here is the point. Ministry is hard. Life is hard. Get used to it. Nothing in this world worth doing is easy. So pray to God for strength to do his will, pray for wisdom to do his will, and put your beard on! Philippians 1:6 "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."
