Am I Learning?

Introspective, Woodcreek

Sometimes when I hear someone talking about what God is teaching them, I start to think: I don't think He's teaching me anything right now. I've decided that this is an inaccurate view. A better perspective would show that God is teaching me something (many things?) all the time, I'm just not always learning. How often have I fallen asleep during a lecture, or just zoned out when I should be listening? I'm afraid I haven't been paying much attention to what He has been showing me lately. But I have been jerked awake (looking around to make sure nobody saw me jump), and am as determined as ever to stay focused.

So what has God been teaching me that I've been ignoring? That my future is in ministry. That I have a passion and desire for teaching and leading others within the Church. But that I can't expect to fulfill that desire if I don't start with myself. As long as I'm living my daily life for ME, I won't be an effective teacher, if I can even get into a position to be teaching.

The future is very foggy for me, with Woodcreek having its final service yesterday. I don't know where I will find a new home or what type of ministry in which I will find myself involved. But I do know that seeking God in my own life will help me wherever I go.
