The Seeds have already been Planted
It has all been for a reason and the seeds have already been planted for your Upward Call of God. How are you able to grow them so you become the ministry leader you are meant to be.
Now all you have to do is say YES to them and you growing into your Upward Call of God.
How can you take the things you have learned in your life and rePurpose those into your Upward Call of God to lead? Or even vise versa?
You might never have thought, in your lifetime, that the Lord would call you lead, but He has and you are freaking out. Don’t worry I’ve got you.
You might already be in a leadership role but are doing the waiting game with Jesus for THE fulfilling leadership role linked completely to your Upward Call of God.
Either way, every detail of your Life Stewardship, your Kingdom Works (volunteer or leadership work to prepare you for your Upward Call) and your Upward Call of God have been planned out perfectly by Jesus. The pre-panted seeds…
It’s now time to rePurpose your time, talents and treasures in the direction the Lord is sending you from that vision. The one you have been thinking about and day dreaming about for as long as you can remember. You know…that one!
The How is the Solution
How do you take what you have learned, while that dream was on hold, raising your kids, washing your dishes or working for that paycheck, fully into the Kingdom of God?
It takes a bit of juggling the knowledge and the way you think about that knowledge plus creating some new Upward Call Habits. Join me on my Facebook page a plan of attack.
And if you have the understand that – everything you have been doing is for your Upward Call of God – it will be a lot easier.
You can always join us in the Midlife Ministry Makers for our monthly discussions. This Month our topic is Biblical Happiness = Contentment.

Brute Force is NOT my Spiritual Gift
I had no idea what I wanted to accomplish in my life but I knew I had leadership skills and organizational skills.
In my family my dad was the clear winner of the leadership game through brute force. All of my sisters have leadership skills with brute force as well. And here I was with leadership skills lacking the brute force component.
Hidden in Plane Sight
I was hiding my skills in plane sight. I hid them for many years because I refused to use brute force to secure any leadership role. Bullying anyone, to get my way, has never been how I wanted to obtain any leadership role.
I am a “natural compassionate leader” who has organized and lead some very successful projects that had impact on the world around me. I assumed, once I became a Christian, I would continue using my God given talents within the church body. I was determined to get my life and leadership skills into position for when God opens the door for me.
I was also determined to do it WITHOUT brute force or bullying. I was determined to do it with compassion and encouragement because God has also gifted me with teaching and exhortation.
Practice on Myself
I knew that to be a good leader I would need to be able to use those same skills to lead myself through life successfully. So, I began practising leadership over my own life. Despite how my life played out I was always hopeful in the Lord’s ability to use the skills He has bestowed upon me in whatever task He had me doing, in whatever capacity He had me in.
I didn’t let life deter my skills in leadership because I used them on myself to get ready for what I am doing today. I didn’t let being in a leadership role define my life because I trusted the Lord to fulfill His plan for me.
I am neutral about life and leadership because I am faithful first to Jesus.
I know that faith has to come first before I will have a ministry that will change lives.

The Musings about Knowing what I Know
It has been just over the past three months that Jesus has helped me to clarify how to articulate that ministry He has been preparing my life for.
Have you ever been so unenlightened about His path for you?
I wanna call it confused but Jesus is not the author of confusion so I cannot. It is just a matter of not knowing or having the correct words to use to say what I know I already know.
I have known that I am gifted to teach, speak and make clear the life lessons found in the Bible. BUT can I articulate that in one little sentence or phrase that says it all. I have not been able too for many years until just recently.
I have known that I would live my whole life in ministry to Jesus whether it is talking to family, a complete stranger or my boss. It was only at the beginning that I did it without any fear. (When you do it without fear it usually turns out bad.)
The Beginning of Musing
My beginning was rocky and hard to follow because I needed to get to a place where I was actually walking in ministry to Jesus. I needed to be trained in everything from morning routines to money management, from goal setting to boundary defending, from how I thought about myself to how I thought about others.
All of that training put me in position to live in my ministry to Jesus. It all started with understanding that the more I knew Jesus the more I began to know about who I am.
This is a small part of the journey I will never regret and will never forget because it had a profound impact on who I thought I was.
I was that small tree I kept seeing on my path to my “City on the Hill” (my vision from God).
