Obedience

For 10 years I had two callings on my life. I had run from them. I was unsure how to go about them so I put them on a backburner. About a month and a half ago, I was speaking to a minister and he began speaking to me as if he could read the first calling I had received. It was amazing..

I had run for so long I had finally tired out. I met with my pastor to speak of the calling. This is, the calling to preach. I accepted it, and now am on the steps to achieving said goal. I went back to the minister that I had first mentioned, and he said.. "I can't wait to see how many souls are going to be in heaven because of your obedience."

WOW!! How do you respond to that? When you look at it in the grand scheme. Obedience is good for us... but it also affects the WHOLE WORLD.... like.. if you take a dog to obedience school.. not only does the dog learn to listen, so he doesn't get in trouble... but he also keeps from biting people or eating their shoes...

Our lives are not our own and the choices we make, the things we run from, will affect the lives of multitudes. I had often thought of myself as a loner.. or an island.. and in fact.. removing myself from humanity.. just meant I was missing out on the blessings others had for me.. and being a blessing towards others..

I am learning so much more with each passing day. It is amazing and I'm blessed by the people in my life that are supporting me on this journey.
