Hoops and Bulls

So what do you do when you are faced with a situation where God answers your prayer and you still don't know what to do? Am I just bullhead, not ready to step out in faith, or just plain scared? I think it's a combination of all three. I am faced with a decision, kind of like a line from a song "should I stay or should I go?" Don't know? Gut tells me go. Money leads me to leave, but then it also leads me to stay because of the lack of the necessary funds for school.

But that brings me to the other question. Who in the heck had a degree in the Bible anyway? Paul, maybe? The disciples sure didn't. How do those little initials change the simple fact that I have a heart and a complete desire to serve others, men women and children in any capacity God would choose. That is where I feel alive. But I guess I must jump through the hoops or start a new church or ministry that is focused on Christ and his teachings, and on the body of Christ. That doesn't eliminate people because of a lack of credentials. Because the heart is the most crucial credential God requires and why should mine be any different? A church that accepts all, especially those who are lost, not just another fraternity of believers, but really reach out to the downtrodden, widows and orphans. Yes, the orphans, children, that's where it is at, and the Men, because we have lost our leadership in the church. I see jobs all over for Youth director's, and Women's ministry, but where is the Men's Ministry focus. Got have it. Anyway yeah, right, my own church, or I should say God's church. Nice thought, but won't happen unless God sees fit.

Kind of got off track. I am in the midst of a decision, but I have included God this time. So maybe this time I won't end up in the Car business, but then again maybe I am right where I am supposed to be. Hope not
