We had a discussion tonight in our group about what we felt God was calling us too. Calling was defined sort of in two ways. Strongly speaking, it is something you feel like God wants you to pursue, and you may feel disobedient to him if you do not do it. Sort of a phone call. On a lighter note, calling is something you feel drawn to or oriented towards because of your values, gifting and passion. Sort of like a text message. Here are some of the things people in our group feel called to.
Grant - Mentor Youth (Social Justice) Creation Care - Communal Living
Phil - sustainability - The Harvest Network - Social Justice (Naz Garden) Facilitating and Building Community
Lana - Serving when needs arise (relational ambulance) College Ministry (CCSC)
Tiffany - The Harvest Network - Prayer
Jenna - Family - Mentoring New Moms - Sustainability, Simplicity, Natural Living - Serving Community (MOPS)
Tim - Start new Xian Communities - The Harvest Network - Pray4Clarksville.com -site under construction, Prayer walks and rides, Writing book
Amanda - Communal living (proximity). Being a Spiritual Mom
We decided to:
1. Share more often and more frequently about these things we are already involved in, and how God is working in and through us and other people as we answer our calling.Both in our group meeting times and in our relationships.
2. Pray about how we think there may be some things we can do collectively as a group in the areas our callings overlap.
3. Pray for workers to be thrust out into the harvest field.
It is so cool to have these conversations. It is the body of Christ in action. So Magnificent!
