What Did You Do With What I Gave You?

My devotional today really hit home. When our culture tells us to focus on the "I wants" in our life it is hard to picture the day ahead for us when the Lord is going to ask for an account of what we did with the gifts He gave us. I certainly don't want to have to explain that I used them all for myself.

One thing that I keep coming back to is my dancing. Our church has just built an amazing new children's building and is looking for new volunteers to help with all of the new opportunities it has opened up. How wonderful would it be to get the chance to start a ballet ministry through this new addition to our church and get back to doing what fills my heart with joy: worshiping the Lord through dance.

I need to start praying really hard about this and see if this is what God has planned for me right now. I hesitate to jump into something that would take time away from my family without first praying about it, even if it is "church-related".

I hope that these daily devotionals with help ease my daily worrying and that God will really give me a clear direction of His will for my life this year. I believe that it could have some incredible surprises!
