It's so encouraging that you are really working to consider how God wants you to take advantage of what He is already doing in your life. That totally inspired me to be looking out for those opportunities in my own life. Thanks for sharing that. Rabbit--I couldn't agree with you more. Motherhood can be an incredible ministry and it is so exciting to hear of other moms who take it seriously as ministry!:) Michelle–thanks for your comments!

Rabbit–I couldn’t agree with you more. Motherhood can be an incredible ministry and it is so exciting to hear of other moms who take it seriously as ministry!:)

The Lord has impressed that truth upon me more and more lately! Many of us are already involved in a huge ministry…motherhood. The Lord has impressed that truth upon me more and more lately!

It;s part of my seize the summer goal-being purposeful with my children is sharing Christ with them ( have even taken it a step further with Trevor's x-counrty athletes (girls) in giving my time to them). anyway, thanks again for posting!

We are all called to ministry in whatever sphere of influence God has given us. I've heard some say, and perhaps I've said it myself, that they don't feel smart enough or spiritual enough or close enough to God...but it's been my thrill to discover that my most spiritually fertile times have been in times of pouring myself out on behalf of others--that's when I've "grown" the most!

In fact, I've even heard it described that to not use our God-given gifts is as serious offense as robbing God of His glory and cheating the body of Christ. Serious words indeed to know that when He purchased us--all of us--it was to be used by Him, of Him and to Him. Very true, Christa.
