What are you doing...What are you SUPPOSED to be doing?

I'm a firm believer that God gives each of us certain things or places us in specific roles in life, whether it be talents, jobs, "status", friends, small groups, etc...all to be used for HIS WILL. Me for instance...I make jewelry...I love to make jewelry, but God did not give me that passion for my benefit alone...it's to be used for HIS PLAN...

You may have money, you may have been blessed beyond what you would have ever imagined with a financial security that we would all (if we're honest) want to have but guess what? It's not for you...seriously, because you know what our money isn't our own anyway. So, if this is where you stand...maybe the question should be asked-where is God leading you to direct this money.

You may hold a role of "high esteem" in other words you're the suits in an organization, you may have ties to people that have well...clout. But it's not all by chance--there's a reason for the jobs we have, the people we encounter, the friendships we make. Not to take advantage, but to use where we are at in life to be a part of God's plan.

Right now, the Hoods (our pastor and his wife at LifePoint) are preparing for a silent auction...they are gathering donations and have had a great response so far. But you know what...I'm just praying that God will blow our socks off...that He's going to do something that there is no doubt among anyone's minds it's HIS PLAN...HIS WILL...and I hope that you will really look inside yourselves to see what you can do to be a part of this.
They are hosting a dinner and silent auction at Jim N' Nicks in Smyrna on March 8th to raise the money needed to bring their son Isaiah home from China. Here's Amy's blog address www.amyrhood.blogspot.com where you can get more information about the family and their journey.

Perhaps...for such a time as this you've been called. If we all do the little bit that we can, then God will those efforts and make a BIG Impact.
