Author	Thread: I might post it in the wrong forum lol
Admin	I might post it in the wrong forum lol Posted : 7 Sep, 2010 06:48 PM This is the question I popped up in Young Adults forum. Maybe wrong forum to address the question lol Ok my question is, have you ever been in Moses shoes? Or Jonah? Or any other Bible character that find it really hard to fulfill what God's calling in their life. Moses found it difficult to lead the Israelists, Jonah preferred to die rather than going to Nineveh. Ever experience that? How did you handle that? All the struggeling to do things you don't want to do but you know it's what God wants you to do? How was it in the end? I really hope that some of you have experienced this and don't mind sharing lol thanks before! =) Post Reply

I think the acceptance of one's calling (whether it be a "small," temporary thing or a lifelong ministry) comes down to a glad obedience that stems from trusting in the absolute sovereignty of God. For me, financial security has been a main factor in my life choices, and if God has called me to do something that has seemed counterproductive to that, I've *ignored* him and done my own thing. Now, most recently in my life, I lost my *secure* job of 5-1/2 years. I'm broke and financial security is a barely memorable part of my past. While this has been stressful, it's also been a very good thing. Why? Because there isn't any money there for me to put before God and I have no choice now but to rely on Him for my needs. Experiencing His provisions has taught me that He IS trustworthy, and that if He calls me to do something, fear of financial ruin is absolutely no reason to disobey. In fact, my current financial state came from my own decisions, not through any obedience to God. So, I am resting in Him better these days, and obedience seems to naturally flow from that (most of the time; I still have my moments!). I'm also listening to Him better and trying to be diligent in the *little* things that He calls me to do in the everyday. For now, that is involving setting up a website for women... which, ironically enough, is something I sorta wanted to do for a long time and sorta felt called to do but was always just way too busy earning money to ever bother with.

I would be the first who join lol ure a gud writer n i can see Christ inside u =) go on, sis! For me, well.. I have been gone through processes that i dun enjoy yet when i submit to Him and humble myself to follow His plans, i feel peace and just follow His plans. Buttttt on the process of me going on His plans, its really really a big struggle for me. Just like Jonah felt, tho i wasnt that extreem to just kill myself rather than doing what He told me to do but to a degree, i really shout to Him that big WHY should i go there in my life path. The problem with it is, i usually end up not 100% on the things i do.im not blaming anyone but myself.no one pushes me to make that choice. And, if i chose not to, there will always a path in my life where, i have to face and deal with it. Such as, Physics, IT and Administration (so far, very very long story for each one). I miraculously have passed that stage of my life that needs Physics subject. And, am now still working on IT (u cant categorize me as those half computer kind of people lol) and, administration (a little confession..im a bit messy lol). So yeah, every major aspect of my life demands those two. I dun doubt my Jesus has beautiful plans for me of those two things, but its just..errr kinda hard sometimes to go through it =( Post Reply
