Spiritual Gifts: Spiritual gifts God has given me and how I believe they may be used in my ministry.

God has gifted me with the gift of teaching. I enjoy engaging people in learning and I enjoy interacting with curious minds (even with minds that appear to be shut). Teaching, I believe can strongly be associated with preaching and any effective spirit-lead preaching will teach you something. I want to be a learner and a teacher of Christ for all my life. I find that the more I learn about Christ the less I know and the more fully I understand Him. That probably doesn't make sense but God is not some finite being that I can swallow like a pill or give to someone in a box. He is so much more than that and he authored everything into existence and there are hardly words to describe His magnificence. But that's what I want to try to teach in my life and I will leave the understanding and the conviction to the Holy Spirit. I'm also gifted with administration abilities. I am a very organized person and handle tasks with swiftness. I make priorities and I do my best to conduct my life according to them. I like to plan and organize and make a strategy to complete a task. Thirdly my spiritual gift would be - Faith. Faith is the water of my life but love is the spring that gives me that faith.

    Favorite Quotes:
    "I realize that it isn't very fashionable to talk about some things as being holy; nevertheless, if we ever want to rid ourselves of personal and corporate emptiness, brokenness, loneliness, and fear, we will have to allow ourselves room for that which we cannot see, hear, touch, or control."

    "If we're really honest with ourselves, there are probably times when we think, 'What possible use can I be in this world? What need is tehre for seombody like me to fill?' That's one of the deeper mysteries. Then God's grace comes to us in the form of another person who tells us we have been of help, and what a blessing that is."
