I have always been apprehensive when asked about my "call" to ministry. Did I hear a voice from God charging me with the task of full time ministry? No. Was I reading the Bible and with sudden inspiration it hit me that I will be a youth minister? No.
But, I have received many other calls into ministry.
The most recent was a call from the father of a Sophomore in my youth group. Not just any girl, the one who brings joy to everyone she's around, young or old. The only one in the youth group who wants nothing better that to have sleep overs with Sarah and I. The one who teared up at the mere mention of us moving away some day. Anyone who has visited with us will know the one.
This call informed me that a recent biopsy revealed the possibility that she might have lymphoma. It is a call that sent me into immediate tears...and into immediate action. Sarah and I began praying our hearts out for her. We made ourselves as available as possible to her and her family. Those are calls into ministry that I receive. Hearts calling out for God's love. Love that God allows me to dispense in His name.
Pray that my phone is never busy or run down and miss those calls.
P.S.- After blood work, they have ruled out cancer, but there is still a scary possibility out there. Please pray for her.
