			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning I was lying in bed trying to stay there as long as I could and still have time to get ready for work.  I thought of an old family friend who used to be a mountain biker/bike shop owner.  He&#8217;s now a pastor.  I thought it funny that this bike shop owner is now the pastor of a church.  Then I stopped and realized that God has used fishermen, a Christian persecutor/murderer to further the Gospel and His Kingdom.   And that isn&#8217;t event he half of it.  He used a sheep herder.  A boy with big dreams who was unwanted by his brothers.  Even a potter in the life of Jeremiah to show him how the House of Israel is in His hand.</p>
<p>The differences in these people is obvious.  They came from different circles, different socio-economic statuses.  Yet they all have one thing in common.  They were all willing to do what God called them to.</p>
<p>So how does this apply to your life?  To mine?  We are all different, but we each have a call on our life from God.  It may be to be a pastor of a church or to be a missionary in a foreign country or to be the supportive friend to a Non-Christian who is going through a difficult time.  God uses us in various ways to accomplish His will.  It isn&#8217;t always going to be lime-light front and center.  But we need to be willing to go.  Willing to do what He has called us to.</p>
<p>This has been difficult in someways for me.  Back in March my husband and I helped start a church plant.  It became abundantly clear that with a small group  everyone was going to have to step up.  I&#8217;m not a extroverted person.  The idea of going up and talking to someone I don&#8217;t know scares me to death.  It makes my skin crawl and makes my wanna throw up.  I&#8217;m still overcoming this.  My desire though is to be an effective disciple for God.  To go where He calls and do what He asks.  I know that He will give me the strength to overcome the personality that He has given me.</p>
