My Calling

In a previous blog, I had mentioned the possibility of my calling being speaking/teaching/preaching in church, but said that I was still unsure and praying about the whole thing. I had started being specific in those prayers, asking God to give me a very clear confirmation--one that would not leave any doubt whatsoever in my mind as to whether or not this is my calling.

This past Sunday, I spoke to our Sunday School Director, Brother Jerry Long about all of it, explaining that I have been confused and longing to have an answer. He very point blank gave me a confirmation for that calling, stating that he has known for years that I am supposed to be doing that, and was waiting for the right time to bring it up.

I am speaking in Sunday School this coming Sunday. It is only for 10 minutes or so, which I have already been doing, but it seems different this time. I have been previously adding to what the teachers were speaking about with personal experiences, examples, and various points God brought to my attention while listening to the lesson. This, however, is more responsibility. I am speaking on whatever God lays on my heart, which means that I alone have to feel after God's will for the direction of the class while preparing. (I am in no way bragging about this new responsibility, just more detailedly expressing my nervousness.)

I am totally scared, to be honest. But I know that God will use me if I submit myself and seek His face as I prepare. I am hoping that I can pray enough to where I dissappear and God totally takes over. (I figure that way, if I mess up, I can blame it on God wanting me to mess up... lol.)

Please pray that God's perfect will would be accomplished through me, and that Sarah Parker would not mess up what He wants to say. Thank you! :)
