“Walk with Me” – Post #1 Ordinary People, Extraordinary God

“I greatly admire you for adopting and know God calls special people to do it.” If you’ve adopted and our paths have crossed, you’ve probably heard those exact words from me for that was my usual response. Since then, God has taught me so much. 

The most important thing He has shown me is that it doesn’t take special people. Really. It doesn’t. When God calls us to do something, He is zero dependent on our special skills, our charming personality, or our impressive intellect. His callings are His work. He has the plans and the vision. He only needs our willingness to allow His work to flow through us. A calling is simply His invitation for us to join what He is already doing. While God does some pretty miraculous things that can seem intimidating, we should never fear to join in. As believers in Christ, choosing to follow and live life in the center of God’s will is the absolute best, most fantastic decision we will ever make on this earth. And our only “special” part is being willing to walk the journey with Him. 

My next post will share how God brought a friend into my life and through trying to help her, I received an unexpected call to action.
