Following God. This is a struggle many people have-How do I know the voice of God? How do I do what he wants? I was just talking to a lady this morning about how her son wanted to follow God but was looking for the “Big Move” of God. I am a firm believer that God moves more in the little things than the “big” things in our lives. Personnally I work at the small things – the everyday mundane. All those small things do lead to huge advances in the Kingdom. There are times in our lives when God does stir us to know our purpose. That came in my life in Dec of 1987. I knew in my heart God was going to speak to me. I had to prepare. I sought him day and night for nearly a week – then on Saturday of that week he told me I would be working with special children. I pressed through until contentment came in my heart. My suggestion is to make only one goal: to love Jesus. If that is your only goal you’ll do the will of God – no matter what.

Thanks for the comment on my site, and this post, I needed them
I have been struggling with what God wants my major in college to be and what direction my life is going to take. I know i need to jsut trust God, and live for him and he will eventually let me know, but lately i have been feeling called to missionary work, and it scares the daylight out of me…I don’t feel worthy enough to do that sort of work…i dunno me being stupid I guess, but thanks again it was an awesome reminder that God will send me hints if I just live for him, and his will will be done 
God bless!

I have much to say on this topic, but little time. But I’ve also realized that God works in the little things. Two verses, quite popular, come to mind:
Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be given unto you. (emphasis supplied.)
Those who are faithful in that which is least is also faithful in that which is most.
Blessings~
Wow, awesome word. I have been struggling with knowing my purpose lately. About 10 years ago God called me into ministry and confirmed it over and over again. So many different people have given me words from the Lord (even strangers) that have all matched up, but now I am married to someone who isn’t on the exact same path as myself and I also have a baby. I just feel like I should be doing so much more with my life right now. I am happiest when I am doing ministry (mainly evangelism) and I haven’t had much opportunity to do that here. We live in Ellendale-and you know what Ellendale is like, lol. My passion is for the city….I want to be on the streets evangelizing and praying for people and I feel like I have hit a block in the road. So, I guess I need prayer that I will be content where I am at right now? I want that fresh vision again. I was also going to ask you if you know how I can make witnessing tracts using my story like the one lady (forgot her name-the leader of the evangelism group and single mom) did from your church. I put my testimony on Xanga saturday to get feed back and it seems to be somewhat effective? It’s something I’ve always wanted to do….you can read it if you want-it’s very long, but if you get bored or have free time check it out. What I really wanna do is gather a bunch of testimonies and make it into one book to use as a witnessing tool and give them out for free to people. Do you have any idea what steps I would need to take in order to do that, or do you know anyone who would know? Thanks!
