One of the most important questions I have ever been asked is, “What did you do this week to move towards what God is calling you to do?”
It’s a question that requires reflection and honesty.
Our dreams and God-given goals can often seem unattainable. That’s when you know it’s God – because without His strength, they would be impossible. It’s humbling, exciting, and terrifying all at the same time! We need to seek God’s direction for how we can be developing our gifts and serving Him right where we are, today.
Personal growth happens when we daily put one foot in front of the other, following where God is leading.
If God has given you a heart for the elderly, contact a local long-term care facility and ask about volunteer possibilities. Pick up the phone; don’t wait for someone to call you. Have a passion for photography that captures the beauty of God’s creation? Start honing your craft by taking classes at a local art gallery or college. Dream of being a wife and mom, but a husband has yet to enter the picture? Offer to spend an hour a week helping a neighbour mom prepare a meal or take care of her children for hands-on training.
Set goals to keep track of your progress and start a prayer journal to record how you see God at work along the way.
