I’m currently reading “Called to Lead: 26 Leadership lessons from the life of the apostle Paul.” I am loving every minute of it. Today I was reading about Nehemiah and how he took the initiative to go and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. There was a “verse” that struck me and I thought… that will be my theme for 2011…. Or maybe even, forever. Ahah.
“Let us rise up and build.” (lifted from Nehemiah 2:18)
Now I know he was referring to the walls of Jerusalem… but after reading the whole story, how can you NOT apply it to your life?
Lately I have been feeling like I’m not doing enough. Yes, I am a nurse who works with sick kids… but I don’t think it’s enough. I need to minister more, I should be doing more, and I am scared to death that I am not being who I am called to be. Or really, if I even know who I am called to be. Because what I’ve been worrying about lately is whether or not I have heard my calling… and if I’ve not… how can I be who God has called me to be?
So, while I have tons of mini-goals for this year… I want to rise up. I want to build. For God. For His people. For me.
beautiful.
