So, what do we do?

We had out In the Light Service on Monday night and had the “We are the Clay” discussion. It really brought up some questions in my mind about “Just how moldable are we really?”. I think we already are born with a certain bent and a handful of talents. The person who doesn’t like kids really shouldn’t try to be the Children’s Minister. Not that God would call them there, but my point is that person is already molded into something. I love kids so I might be able to do it. On the other hand I do not suffer fools easily so I would make a very poor pastor. BUT just how do we know which of our talents should we be using??? Some people have many, others have a few and most of us have more than we know. Does it get to a point where we ahve learned so mucha nd have so many skills that we spend most of our time using those? Take the associate pastor at my church. Right now she is the acting head pastor while ours is on sabatical. SHe is also the music minister in charge of the Choirs, the praise band and everything in between. She has been teaching and preaching and singing and practicing and going to church retreats. When is enough enough? Sometimes I think we get so caught up in what we THINK God wants us to be doing that we lose sight of what we really should be doing! I want to use every skill and talent I have for God and yet if I try to do that I will be doing too much. SO the ultimate question I ahve is HOW DO YOU KNOW? is it what we have passion for? Is with what ever need needs to be filled? Is it…..what is it?
