When we are called, we have a choice to respond. The call is not always distinctly spiritual in nature but is a feeling we keep coming back to buried deep within our hearts. Ignoring the call is often more painful than expanding on it and that is when it’s time to take a better look into what your calling may be.

It can be so simple and take such a minuscule amount of time we would naturally overlook it was the Holy Spirit calling us to action.

... We often make God so big in our eyes missing the opportunity to tie together Word and Deed in finding our God-given purpose which is found in the details, not in the grand scheme of what we accomplish by the time we die.

God is everywhere! On the corner of plush beautiful landscapes and in the midst of back allies with His forgotten (children) often overlooked because they no longer are able to produce fruitful harvest but are addicted to the sin of the world.

God Is Love. He lives in our hearts and cares about what we care about. We've all been chosen for a specific purpose. We are each different yet, interconnected through God’s design and grace. We each have something inherently purposeful to offer. Adoption is a ministry. Friendship is a ministry. Writing letters to those who believe they’ve been forgotten is a ministry. Art is a ministry. Music is a ministry. –

Our passion becomes a ministry when we are acting out the call of our heart consciously tying together Word and Deed and offering God’s love to all who meet us.
