What are you good at? That’s the question that has been haunting me. I’ve been trying to concentrate on the things that I do well. I’m doing this in an attempt to streamline my life. I realize, as I get older, that I need to “go deep” instead of “going wide.” Sure, there is benefit in knowing how to do a lot of things, but if I’m always engaged in doing so much of everything, then I’ll never get really good at anything. So, here I am, today, back to square one, trying to figure out what I’m really good at. Knowing this answer is the key.
I’ve started praying about this – I want to know what God wants me involved with. That’s the only way that I know how to do this and do it right. But, in the back of my mind, I wonder if I’m prepared for the answer… what if I have to let go of one of my pet projects?
That brings me to submission. This weekend, I preached a sermonette on God’s love. Yet, to fully recognize His love for us, we have to submit to it. Ah…the John 3:16 factor. I believe that God loves me. I believe that He has made me to be good at something. And, with prayer and with your help through prayer (yes, you reading this blog), then I will be able to accept His answer to the question posed.
By the way, what are you good at?

I've found spiritual gifts inventories to be helpful in highlighting what God's gifted me with. There were no HUGE surprises, but it was nice to have my suspicions confirmed in such a tangible way. Just google "spiritual gifts tests" and you'll have your pick of many. Hey, are you going to She Speaks? Shoot me an email! :-)
Oh girl I am right there with you. I need to go deeper instead of wider. It is hard to give some things up for other things.
Much love,

OH-what am I good at? I am not sure-I am searching too. May God show us our strengths, talents, and abilities.
Amen to that!
