What is your current calling?

It's Sunday, the day before my blog comes out. You will be reading this blog in just about 13 hours. I just finished watching my sermon for today from One Church in Gahanna. At the end of the sermon, the Pastor, Greg, asked "What is your current assignment and what does it mean to follow all the way through?" I will be the first to admit, God has placed me in a season of growth and a season of patience. I am done with college. I am not sure when I will begin my new job as an RN with all the hospitals being on a hiring freeze and start dates being postponed. I spent the last five years of my life knowing without a doubt in my mind, God's calling for my life was for me to be an RN. Since quarantine started, and I have said many times now, but I've grown so much closer to God. God has been speaking to me like never before in my life. I have taken huge steps in my faith. I will give you some examples. I did 30 days of prayer with a friend from work, where weekly we prayed on our own over the hospital, but one day each week we talked on the phone and prayed together. This was extremely outside of my comfort zone. I usually have a hard time praying in front of people or aloud with others. It's always been something I have been self-conscious of. During that month, I was able each week to ask God to place what he wanted me to pray about on my heart and to speak through me. God showed up every single week and I prayed aloud with my friend. God allowed His light to shine through me and provided His message through me in prayer. Another area of my life that has changed since this all began is I have been using my social media accounts as a platform to spread the Word of God. It all started out as Facebook posts here and there, and now I am weekly releasing blogs sharing how AMAZING God truly is, and here you are reading them. I have been able to reach so many people just through this blog in the past couple of months. And it's not about how many people see it. It's not for views. If I shared the Word of God with one person who needed to see it, then my purpose behind this blog is fulfilled. All I am is a person planting seeds. God is the one allowing the seeds to grow and flourish. Another social media platform I've been using is Tik Tok. I make videos sharing God's word or praying OUT LOUD (YES, I SAID OUT LOUD) for people to see all over Tik Tok, which I previously told you is extremely out of my comfort zone. And there are people in need of prayer I have been able to pray over because of stepping outside my comfort zone and being obedient to God. I also do not usually feel comfortable in front of the camera. I am usually a behind the scenes kinda gal. I don't usually like the spotlight on me, yet I have stepped out of my comfort zone in order to spread God's Word and it has been life-changing. I also recently did my first Bible Study video, which was something I never in a million years thought I would do. I was reading my Bible and God spoke to my heart and told me I needed to share this message, so I obeyed Him. I made a Bible Study Video on youtube and it's already gotten over 50 views. That may not seem like a lot to you, but that is 50 people who were able to hear the Word of God because I stepped outside of my comfort zone and was obedient to God. I am here to tell you that sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zone. Sometimes God needs for us to make the choice to move instead of stand still. But also sometimes God calls us to stand still and be patient. You need to ask God to speak to you and tell you which season he wants you in. You see I am in a season of both. There are areas of my life God is telling me to move. I have obeyed Him in the moves and I have been able to share His Word with so many people all over social media. But there are other areas in my life God is telling me to stand still and be patient. I previously stated, I knew without a doubt nursing was my calling in life from God. Recently, I am unsure of my calling, but I feel as though God is telling me my calling might also be somewhere else. But I am being patient and standing still because God has not revealed His answer to me yet. Here is the cool thing, your calling doesn't have to just be one thing. Your calling can be multiple things. And depending on your season of life, your calling may be different now then it will be in five years. There is one thing though that remains no matter what season you're in and what God is calling you to do, in order to hear your calling you need to be listening and remaining obedient to God. God can't tell you your calling or His plans for your life if you're not making yourself available to Him. I encourage you to step back and truly look at your life and yourself. Analyze yourself. Are you making yourself available to God? Do you know if God is calling you to a season of moving or a season of standing still? If you know which season He is calling you to, are you obeying Him? Are you standing still when he wants you to? Are you moving if He wants you to? Are you allowing God to use you the way he wants to? If not, now is the time to begin. It is time to stop where you are. Take a deep breath. Talk to God and allow Him to tell you where he wants you to be. I am not sure yet what God's overall plan for my life is, but I do know that in the current season I am in, he is calling me to be available and be patient. He is calling me to move in some areas but stand still in others. I am remaining obedient. I am remaining faithful. I am keeping my eyes, ears, mind, and heart fixed on Him. I am ready at any moment for God to speak to me to let me know what is next. Are you? I pray you allow Him to direct your path and speak to you. I pray you obey what He tells you. I pray you are faithful to His desires for your life. Once you do, he will lead you to great and prosperous things. He will lead you to righteousness.
