Devotions was on "finding our place". Place as in the body of Christ. We belong to Him and each of us has a place that we will never really flourish until we are in it. "You will be frustrated and unfulfilled until you find and fulfill your calling."
During service, I began to have things come back - reminding me of my worries. Instead of dwelling on them, I laid them at His feet and continued worshiping Him. Announcements talked about how some people were in the hospital - to be honest, I don't remember much of what was said. All I remember is the sudden pressing feeling of God and my desire to be the one with people while they were in hospital. I found myself tearing up as I wondered just how I could have ever thought that nursing was not for me. I don't know what this means quite yet. All I know is that I'm going to turn up the heat in applying to nursing school and looking for jobs as a CNA!
During service, I was reminded that just having faith that God will work it out does not mean it should stand alone. Faith is being grounded in the Word with what it proclaims. As I blog, I'll post at the end Scripture of the promises God has given that I am basing my thoughts and standing in faith that things will happen!
Jeremiah 29:11-13
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
