“When Jesus gave the great commission, it was to fisherman and tax collectors – it was to nobodies. Yet, Jesus chose to use them to spread the gospel to every nation, and it was Jesus who empowered them to do so. In the same way, God wants to use you in whatever profession you’re in to bring the good news those around you!”

Growing up, I always wanted to be a businesswoman. I loved numbers and would daydream about walking into an accounting office in a tailored blue suit. But I was never sure if my passion for business was actually something God wanted me to do. Sure, I was gifted in it, but no one in the Church ever talked about business being a God-given calling; it was never endorsed from the pulpit as such. Then, when I was 13-years-old, I felt strongly like God’s purpose for me was to go into full-time Christian ministry. It’s not that my passion for business ever left, just that I couldn’t figure out how to connect those two callings on my life into one. I wanted to serve the Lord, and I wanted to be in business, but NO ONE could connect those dots for me.

So, what about you? Have you heard God’s voice calling you to full-time Christian ministry? Have you also felt a call towards the marketplace, government or education, health care or the arts?

Where did we get the idea that we HAVE to quit our job in order to be in ministry? You do not need to quit a perfectly good job that uses your skills, pays the bills, and fills a need.

When I started praying for my coworkers and employees and my bosses by name every day, along with their spouses and their children, it helped me to see them the way my heavenly father saw them. Did it change them? Read onj to find out.

Here's what I so often forget - what has a beginning, often has an end. What is relevant today, may not be relevant two years from now. How is God asking you to bring that fresh Gospel message of freedom to the people you work alongside today? Is it a different approach than what you have done in the past

I believe when God laid a vision on my heart, then He has a plan for it. Adversity takes us from who we are to who He can use more effectively. Is our Heavenly Father asking you to do something out of the ordinary?

God knows our motivations because he can read our hearts and minds.  Is He the Lord of your motivations too?  Look for the mighty hand of God in them, every day.

I realized that God is there for all of my life. Just a phone call away. Just reach out and touch Him. He desires constant conversation with us.  All you have to do is pick up the phone and give Him a call.
