Faith Challenge

Today's Faith Challenge is "Embracing Your Calling". That is my reason for doing this challenge. I want to discover my calling. Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

If God knows the plan, when is he going to let me know? Has he already told me the plan and I am ignoring it? I hope not. As I continue this challenge I will be praying scripture. My prayers will include Jeremiah 29:11, John 15:16, and Galatians 1:15.

Have you ever read The Prayer of Jabez by Bruce Wilkinson? I have read the book twice and each time I have read it, a calming peace came over my life. I am going to begin reading it again tonight. It is a short, easy read. There are seven chapters so you could read a chapter a night and have a weeks worth of devotionals.

I will say that since I have begun this challenge my life has been calm and I have done a much better job of expressing my faith just through my actions. Hey, maybe that is one of my callings.

I pray that I will be a good Christian example to my students and co-workers. I know that it is a blessing to be with them each day. I am so lucky to work in a loving, Christian environment. I pray that I will be a blessing to each one of them.

Well, it is time to get off the computer, go read my devotional, and get to sleep so I can greet the world with a smile on my face in the morning.

Blessing,
Diane
