Interesting in seeing things fleshed out

It seems as if I try to complicated things... Ideally (in my personal view), I would be a great full-time AVL coordinator at the church at which I'm up for a job. However, I would love to be able to coordinate webcasting for the church AS WELL AS start a recording studio. I've already worked the studio costs out and it seems like, if marketed appropriately, the setup would pay for itself in half a year. Either way, I really am looking for a definite answer to the question "what do I want to do?"

Well sure, of course it's simple. I want to be a church planter, travel the world, own a recording studio with the greatest analog and digital gear, play drums in a famous band, etc., etc... But what does my Creator want? This is where it gets a little bit more complicated. See, I was created with all of these gifts, and a mind with which to complete all of these tasks. The only issue is, am I called to do all of it? I don't know. Could I excel and serve the Lord in all of these things? Absolutely.

Where you guys fit in is prayer. Straight up intercession on behalf of me, That I might see clearly enough in front of me to make spiritually wise decisions for the future of His Kingdom. Too often I look at it as MY ministry, but oh no... totally wrong there folks. It's His ministry through me. How selfish are we to think that God needs us?!?!? It's at this point of humble realization that He can use us, but don't you DARE ever think that God couldn't do what He wills to do without your help. I say this to you and also to myself: YOU'RE NOT THAT IMPORTANT! These words have been uttered through the mouths of some of the most influential people in church planting history; key example in this case being Perry Noble.

Please family, be in prayer for God's will for my life. At my weakest spiritual point is when I am most eager to listen and receive prayers. Thanks for all you do for me and my heart.

Cheers
Michael G

  1. I have found that, when I have conflicting desires, the best thing to do is to just focus on God, and He'll help me figure out what I truly want and what He truly wants for me.

    "Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4 NIV) Give it a shot and see what happens.
