Hi ydidhedie4me,

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isa 55:9

Amen Praise the Lord! The Harvest is indeed plenteous but the Labourers are few.

God wants to show you His will so much! Just seek Him and press on and He will show you His Ways and His Thoughts!

Just remember that we do nothing of our own (initiative). Like our Lord Jesus (John 8:28)

Prayed for you
Ian

ME! I feel God is calling me to go the the nations, been to a bunch of places this year, just recently came back from a month in Africa. God really gave me a heart for the lost and brokenhearted, kids, orphans living on the street etc, God wants to poor out so much of His love and all I can say is God show me your heart and I want to be available for whatever you wanna do. So right now I am praying about going to Africa for a longer periode, because thats where my heart is right now.......I need to go talk with my pastor......and then see what doors God opens......

God will let you know how and where you are to serve. Keep an eye out for what He's going to be showing you! :)
Just because I like to quote things that I learn:)

I got this from a good book on the persecuted church in China (Safely Home)

A hungry man who waits for a roast duck to fly into his mouth will have to wait a very long time.

I have seen people know they are called to missions but not know where or when or how. (Personally, working in (or raising money to work in) missions it was very clear for me. I consider this the exception to the rule.) One family in particular is now in Ch*** :p , left a steady job a house and took their four kids with them! But it wasn't easy for them to decide on a sending agency, place or type of ministry!

But now they are there, and were there on time PTL.

I felt called to the mission field for 6 years. I had saved enough money to open my own restaurant. I had no children and no debt. Naturally I wanted Him to bless my business. But the mission issue was in the way. I had to decide if it was His will or my will. I told the Lord I'd go. To my surpirise He said no. I said Lord, you've wanted me to go for 6 years. Really? You thought I wanted you to go but you never let me tell you no. You just told me you wouldn't do it. He has used my restaurant as a mission field for the past 18 years. Countless people have accepted Christ because of it.

God is awesome!!!!!

If Gods been dealing with your heart
Please don't forsake His call
The very thing you think He wants
He may not want at all :bow:
