Moving in awareness

Well yet again another spin-off of the awareness state that I am currently in about myself. I have made movements in my thinking and things like that but like I said last blog, I tend to think more than I act. So this one is focused more on how I am acting.

All week I have been researching places to start volunteering in Elizabeth City and I am excited about this. I haven't found an organization yet but I am feverishly on the search. Also, last night I read in the book of Mateju in the Novi Zavjet and what those words mean are the book of Matthew in the New Testament portion of the Bible. I do not have a full OT NT Bible in Bosnian yet which I REALLY want. So I have started to try and read so that I can start understanding Bosnian better for this summer!

I am excited to say that my sister has brought up some ideas that we can be a part of in our missions board at church. Let me say that I am incredibly excited about becoming a part of these things. I am ready to start planning!

I don't say all these things like a small child coming to their mother to show her how well she cleaned her room. I say these things because I becoming aware of my duties here in this life on earth, and I realize that they are not just duties but they are exciting happenings in my life. God has put it on my heart to start volunteering and stepping up in my church, I also realize that these are things that are no brainers for people to do. Up until now volunteering was either something we did as a requirement for school that actually felt good to do, or some disaster relief project that also felt good but it never REALLY instilled in me a want to volunteer.

I don't say it for the praise, what people should say to me is..."this is what you should've been doing all along". Maybe I'm just a slow learner, maybe it's that and the fact that my time management is not always the greatest and priorities can sometimes be an issue.

But what I know is that God putting these passions inside of my heart to actually want to do these things instead of them feeling like an obligation. I'm speaking more so about volunteering and serving people during the week in Elizabeth City. I've always wanted to do good things in my church and the surrounding community there, now I feel it more than ever.

It's good to want to work for the Lord

It always has been

We are not saved by works, but God calls us to work, diligently. In awareness, I have chosen to take action.

All to God
