Yesterday my heart was playing with me. After i finally was able to pour out my heart to my dad, and tell him straightforward that i want to be in full time ministry, after i have welcomed all the possible persecutions & sufferings to come, the Devil worked to hinder me from doing the work the Lord has called me to do.
Thoughts like "Is this really what you want? If so, you may not be able to pursue an architectural career , you may not be able to buy yourself things, and you'll always be someone less." went inside my head. And indeed my heart was fickle for i have wavered, but then i asked God to remind me of His goodness, i asked Him to not let my other passions die, instead for Him to bring it to life and use it for His glory. I love making art, and i know in my heart that He didn't give me the love for it, just for me to brush it off.
And Indeed my God knows my hearts desire and the moment i woke up, i was surprised to suddenly have the opportunity to attend art classes for this month! How wonderful was that? The Lord used a lovely friend of ours to bless me with this opportunity & even bought me the material i will be needing for the classes!
I see this as a way for me to improve my skills and use this for God's glory & for the work of telling the Good News. Since i would have to support myself for the coming months as i do my "mission walk", i could use the knowledge i'll gain from the classes to enhance my skills and be able to sell art pieces so that i will have a little income not only for me but for the people i'll be helping. I pray that it would work out! I start tomorrow, and i do hope that i'll be enjoying it.
As for the "mission walk", it's something i came up with since i do not have any organization to work with yet during this coming months. I desire to bring the Good News to the people of the streets, i like to help them in ways i could. So the moment the weather becomes more friendly i will be hitting the streets and basically reach out to the street kids & beggars here in our community.
And if you're thinking about my studies, i would not be studying again this semester, the schools i have contacted advised me to start 1st semester next year, so that i'll be able to have less complications with my classes. It looks like it will take a while for me before i finish college, but hey no regrets!!! I am where i am supposed to be at the moment.
I am in need of your prayers, and please also say a prayer for those kids & other people i'll be trying to reach with the Love of Christ!! And if you happen to be reading this blog and have some prayer request, i'd love to pray with you.
