What "The Well" am I doing here?: Power of Purpose

Power of Purpose

I love to organize! But you already know that. On Thursday night I recieved an email asking me if I would LEAD one of the projects for our Serve the City day this past Saturday. You also know that "lead" is a four letter word to me. I hate to lead! I will not lead! BUT...they asked me to be the project leader for the group going to clean out and organize our donation closet at the office. Okay Lord, how can I say no to that?

I love to organize! The day was fantastic. I love when God calls us to serve in areas that are our strengths. I love when God provides amazing support around us as he did for me in a girl on my team name Merica. I love when I step out in faith and God proves Himself faithful again.

And now I have some purpose.
I am so excited to serve the refugee children who fled their countries with nothing by organizing all the art supplies and games.
I am so excited to serve the homeless by organizing all the towels, soaps, and clothes.
I am so excited to serve the office staff by creating an organized and clean space to store supplies for the differently-abled, and abused.
I am so excited.

Love this, Kristyn. It reminds me of the quote(now this will make me sound old) from the movie "Chariots of Fire." Eric Liddell says,"God made me fast...and when I run, I feel His pleasure." So glad that you felt His pleasure this weekend as you applied your organizational gifts. From my limited observations, overseas missionaries with organizational gifts are not over-abundant:), so I think that you will have many opportunities to bring Him glory and bless others with these gifts. I'm cheering for you!
