Spiritual Markers

I don’t know where God is leading me, but I will follow.

February 25

Today I was prompted to write down all the spiritual markers in my life, all those moments that have stood out, all the times I have felt God's direction. What I saw was that from the time I was a little girl, I wanted to partner with God to help others. Hindsight is 20/20. I think if circumstances were different, and I understood what I was happening, I would have said I was being called into ministry. Part of the problem was, I didn't know women could be called into ministry. When I was really young I thought I might want to be a Nun. I wasn’t Catholic, but I thought that would show Jesus just how much I loved Him. But, being a Nun meant I would never have children, so that wouldn’t work. I was trying to figure out what to do with my life, what kind of career I would have. I wanted to do something of value. I always knew I wanted to be a mom and from the time I had my first child, I felt fulfilled and knew this was my ministry. As the years went on sometimes I would want more, but God would say no, this is not the time. Today God started putting the pieces together. He started showing me the common threads that have been running through my life. I don’t see the whole picture, but I am following God. He knows the way
