To get ready for missions trips,
we need to do studies.
to catch the grips,
of God's amazingness.
When we studied in the Bible,
sometimes I found myself being deniable,
to my spiritual gifts of serving and exhortation.
But when I found that it is important
to be different from other believers,
I was glad I could be who I am though I had thought, "I can't",
I have gone on two missions trips since,
it is great to be a help,
to those who need sense.
I give my time,
that is really God's to give,
to those who need it.
If I were able to choose my gift,
a couple of years ago,
I would have said, "A leader, evangelist"
I wanted to be important, to be noticed.
Now I am happy being who I am and not who I pretended
to be when I wanted to be
someone who, is just not me
so I hope you have come away encouraged,
as I intended,
and I hope your spirit,
has become more mended,
as you find your spiritual trait,
while I pray for you,

Wonderful entry. I like the fact that you made it so personal and I appreciate the prayer we all need it.I too wanted to be an evangelist of some sort but my calling is not there. I have always known who God wanted me to be but the complete responsibity of it all scares me beyond any fear I have ever known. I loved the poem and I thank you for entering.
