September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
And it is Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) Awareness Month.
And the month of weddings and anniversaries.
And birthdays.
And back to school.
And graduations.
And many other celebrations of life.
Many hardships of life, too.
Unemployment
Floods
Heartache
Sickness
And much, much more!
God probably hasn't called you to each one of the above mentioned major life events at the same time, but you most likely know people in the heat of the battle right now. So, what is your role? Are you less important because you don't have a BIG issue going on in your life? God answers this question in I Samuel 30:24: "The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike."
You see, God can use you right where you are. God needs you right where you are. No waiting for further training or preparation It's GO time! :)
Some of you may be Waders - feeling like you are drowning, trudging through the thick of your trials. You are deep in the situation.
Some of you may be Watchers - close to, but not in the center, you are standing on guard for your family, friend, neighbor, or coworker. You provide a meal, a shoulder, a praying emoji on Facebook, a random card or call.
And some of you may be Warriors - praying fervently from a distance, maybe not ever meeting all the people involved.
Team Mitlo One was - and is - a beautiful example of Waders, Watchers, and Warriors. Thank you for hearing God call you - and answering in a big way time and time again!
Have great confidence in knowing God can use you to love others.....yes, even you!
"God has given each of you a gift from His great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another." I Peter 4:10
