I'm a lover, not a filer!

There are skills that come naturally to us. For each person this skill set is different. And when we toss into the mix the variety of ways that God mixes and matches our personalities and calling and spiritual gifts... well, all of us are different.

Donald Trump is a business mastermind.
Bill Gates brilliantly sabotaged Steve Jobs with that whole Windows thing (I will not make any judgments about Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mac or Microsoft at this time. I state only that he made a whole lot of a bunch of money n the tech industry... moving on.)
Vinnie VanGogh set the world art world ablaze with one "Starry Night."

What is that thing that makes my head pop up off my pillow with anticipation? What brings my gifts and talents and calling into a spiritually harmonious amalgamation? I thank God that He has revealed to me ever so clearly that I am made to love Him. Through loving Him I am so moved to love others and seek that they would find their life's fulfillment in loving God as well.

My God has called me to be a pastor. This is not just a job or a vocation to me. This is how God has made me.
There are a ton of details I must still discover about how this calling, the Spirit's empowerment of me, my abilities and skills, my personal history, and my anticipated future all meld together. But I know that I am called to be a pastor. Sometimes this calling freaks me out, but in all ways I know that there is nothing else in this world that I would rather do with my life.

I'm not a tremendous business mind. I'm not a tech wizard. It's not likely that I'll paint a masterpiece. I can't even keep files organized in an office. But I know that I am made to worship. I can love people. I can seek after God and teach others about him. What more can I ask for in life?
