Have you ever stopped to wonder what you might be doing if you weren't doing college ministry?
For some of us, maybe we find ourselves thinking about this often... even too often.
But is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence?
Sure, sometimes a change of career - a new vocational understanding - requires us to move on from where we are. But sometimes I think some of our mental wanderings simply serve to distract us from the ministry we have been called to.
I think, however, there's also another option for us to consider here...
Is it possible, that in considering some of the other things in life that:
- bring us joy
- use are gifts
- expose us to new things
- cause us to consider a career change
that God might be wanting to grow our current ministry context? Is it possible that He might want to bring in to our current ministry context some of our gifts/talents/passions that we're not currently making good use of? Is it possible that the day-to-day approach to ministry we've grown comfortable with is no longer sufficient, and God is trying to stir in us some new ways of engaging in our daily work?
What do you think?
How would you know if God was calling you to something new OR simply calling you to broaden your approach to ministry in your current context?
What are some of the gifts/talents/passions that you possess, that you don't currently make good use of in you ministry setting?
I'd love to hear what you think!
Grace and peace.
