Prepare to become Content in Your Upward Call of God

As I come into growing from my ministry I have learned that growing into my ministry as a content Visionary Ministry Maker was not for anyone else except me to learn.

When God called me to start teaching life skills workshops my life skills were lacking in significant ways including contentment in my menial tasks as well as my hard tasks. 

I started teaching things that I had learned about myself in the first couple of year of my salvation. Then I was hit with great loss and great agony that took me out.

The loss created the agony and it bled all over the rest of my life.

I defined myself by my work, but it was getting me no where fast. I was still being laid off at the drop of a hat, and I couldn’t keep a job for the life of me.

That is difficult for the person who defines themselves from how hard they work and what they know about the work.

The automotive is so fickle that it created an environment of constant lay offs for me and contractual work rather than a steady fulfilling job.

So, when my ministry started I thought it would fill the gap that my design jobs left behind. Only a task driven person would think that so that is what I thought.

This gap that I had concocted in my head, should not have existed because my design work should not have defined me. My work should not define me in any capacity.

I will never be content in my work if I define myself by it.

Our ministries are God’s ministries not ours. They define Him not us!

We do not own them and they are not given to us to define us. They are given to us to grow us into the Visionary and Commissary Leader the Lord wants us to be, as we draw people closer to Him.

He chose me to lead this ministry and I only have to prove to Him how prepared I am as He guides me too it and through it.

My Visionary Living Advice 💦 is when you begin to feel like you have to prove yourself to someone with your works, remember and repeat, “I am already worthy, therefore I have nothing to prove.”

Join me in Midlife Ministry Makers to discuss how to open our eyes to contentment while we work knowing that every work we do for you is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
