Today’s theme speaks to me in so many ways. The word “called” makes me think of a journey, and being a servant really is a journey. When Jeff started being a servant, I really, really didn’t understand how he felt so strongly about it. It wasn’t until I was well into my own journey that I did understand. “I’m just going to” is how it started. I’m just going to go to the Christmas play, the Thanksgiving potluck, the Christmas dinner, the carol sing. This turned in to “I need to” or “they” need me to. For example, learning more about the church and the bible, or “they need me”-someone is sick can you fill in.
Danny mentioned discerning where God wants him to serve others today. To give others guidance, I have struggled with the concept of discernment. It wasn’t until last year that I felt I understood discerning for myself what I should be doing. The preparation for the national conference, the mission initiatives and the enduring principles have clarified discerning what God wants for me to serve others.

The mission initiative, develop disciples to serve, is totally correct. I see Jesus as my friend who continually walks with me; loving me and supporting me. I have moved from a feeling of “need to do” to wanting to give back to those around me. To try to be more like Jesus in my love, acceptance, helpfulness and giving to others. I have gone from dipping my toe in the service of others to jumping in the deep end. Do I have all the answers? No, God is more subtle and allows us to learn and grow and sometimes be uncomfortable as a way to learn. I am doing things I never thought I would and I am blessed much more than I think I bless others. Being Called to Serve is a two way relationship. By being myself and stretching myself, I can make a difference and I can learn on a journey that is ever changing. I have become a more loving and caring person since starting this journey. I am changed and look forward to where my journey takes me in the future.
