I seem to be having a hard time "finding my place" in the baptist church. More specifically, I'm having a hard time identifying my spiritual gifts, and finding a ministry to serve in that uses those gifts. At times, especially the last few weeks, I've been doubting if I have spiritual gifts, and in turn doubting my salvation since all believers have at least one spiritual gift.
Have you ever been in this situation? If so, how did you identify your spiritual gifts, and how did you find a ministry/service for God to use your gift in?
Edit: I would like to add one thing - that I do feel drawn towards internet ministry. In the past I have done minor online christian counseling through a website called Setting Captives Free, but that website was shut down and morphed into a different ministry. I also was a moderator of a Christian forum for a while, but that website ended up changing direction and practically died, so I left that ministry as well. I don't know if this would be considered a gift, seeing that my written communication is better than my oral communication. But what I do know is that I have enjoyed online ministries in the past, and felt somewhat "fulfilled" by them. But I don't really know where to serve online now, since the ministries that I was familiar with are no longer in my life. Perhaps God does want me doing online ministries? Or maybe he wanted to use these ministries to push me to do something else in person? I'm not sure.
