Dreams & Calling

As shared by Dan Allender in To Be Told
My calling: to reveal God through my character. To make known something that is bound to my unique face, name and story.

Our deepest dreams are always about righting wrong and growing good. It's that simple. What wrong are you meant to stop? What good are you uniquely designed to grow?

4 Core Questions to consider:
-Who am I to serve?
-Where am I to be?
-What burden am I to bear? ( a problem that first brings us to tears and intensifies our anger and then brings joy to our souls when it is even temporarily subsided.)
-How am I to engage? In my unique way, how will i reveal God's character?

What would I like to offer to those who suffer in the same ways I have suffered?

Sigh.

Some of my answers include:
children
the unloved
missionaries
Africans
women
the overlooked
the hurt
the misfits
the castaways

We have all been discarded by someone and i want to hold hands, bring laughter and create friendship in these places of suffering.
