What do you think your role in the body of Christ is?

[Sirk]

I guess I get frustrated because I am just not sure what mine is. I'm a single mom and am exhausted after working all day and the burden of being in the position I'm in. I always aim to be an example of what a Christian should be to my children and support them in every way I can. There is really no greater calling for a mother than her children. But mine are grown and on their way to their life goals. I have a very small income and do what I can to support the Jewish people through known organizations. There are times when I feel the Holy Spirit leading me to help out somebody, even a stranger, by putting gas in their vehicle, or in some other small way. Most days I feel like I'm either on hold or hopefully have not missed something.

Sounds to me like you have a very generous spirit. I totally get the frustrating things. Sometimes it seems there isn't enough time in the day. I know that for me, it's a struggle at times to surrender to the mundane things in life.

I still am not sureexactly what mine is either, but I know in a general sense we are all called toworship, give glory to, and tell about His truth. I also know He has given memany talents I’ve wasted most my life, but now He lives inside me I see how Ican use them for His purpose. I feel I am being led towards preaching the word,but not in the “job” capacity. I feel very strongly about not proclaiming theword for a paycheck (this is a personal thing, in no way a shot at any pastors,or others that work in a church for their check). He has provided ways for mysurvival this long without collecting money in His name, and I have full faiththat will continue. Besides all that, getting in the Word is all I feel likedoing in my downtime anyway. I’ve started a bible study at my house already,and love this format so much better than the typical church service (and dostill attend regular church services every week, I just like the interactivitybetween members in a study better than watching 1 man give His lesson in a “entertaining”format). Please don’t get me wrong here, I am not against churches, or people makingtheir living spreading the Word, I just don’t feel that’s my path at this point.Anyway, that is how I feel I personally am being led right now, but we all knowHe can change that anytime. The one thing I do know is I will be proclaiming Hisglory and power the rest of my small, short, and very blessed life.

I am more of an encourager of Christians and one to show the forgiveness and mercy of God to Christians who are burdened with sin and fail to enter into the rest of Jesus.

Glad to be apart of CC.

OK, that is not accurate, it is rather a stretch, a misrepresentation.

More or less wishful thinking, huh?

Nah....I think it's a Christlike attribute to shoot for. In fact look at how Jesus restored Peter on the shore that day. Do you love me Peter....yes Lord.....Do you love me Peter......yes Lord.......Do you love me Peter........yes Lord.......Let me make you breakfast.

Thank you, Sirk, that what you said is meaningful.
