God is speaking and it is awsome to listen andsee him move in me and my friends.
there are so many things goign on. One is the talk of discipleship. what is it and do we need it. my thought are truly not really clear. we need peole to come along side us. to be able to pour in to us love, and frinedship and there experiance with god and also to be able to pour that in to someone. the fact that what it takes is a person with disiple in there own life, someone willing to take the time to pour in to someone.. also a person who is able to show love and trust to others. then that person wanting to be in a friendship and a partnership of learning about god and listening to him. that takes guts and courage. i would love to be at that place. i am not know but i am on my way. i think that discipleship is very very important. most defenitly. i like what a friend of mine said on her blog http://www.mirrorsdepth.blogspot.com/ That is what it started me think about this
the other thing that god has put on my heart is my calll. this is not as clear and is still a journy. i know, that i have been called ot not jsut minister like all of us but that i was set apart. that god has planted in me a heart for him. that i have a heart to help others. over the years god has worked on specific parts of me. my heart, my serves, my commentment, my skills, my knolege, my passion. i belive he is not finised at all yet. i have always loved childern. i have also loved teaching. i have had the chance to teach kids and do it creativly. i have never had a broken heart for anyone. i have never cried over the lost. i have never felt god really pull my heart to the point of submision. i have felt him tug me in a direction and use me when i thought that i was uinusable. i have strted working with disabled kids and love it both in a church setting and in a profesional level. i love it i really sence god tuging agian for me to listen to him and be watchful. what does that mean . i have no clue? i have started to reseach about special needs ministries. i have found really nothing. i am still seeking out what he wants. this is no where near over.
what eles is god doing/ well he is growing me. that is so awsome. he is chalangeing me to step out and be sociable . to step out on faith and put my self out there. that is hard.

Jimmie,
If I want to know how you're doing, this is a good place to look. I love you and miss you!
Much love,
Natallia
Jimmie,
I don't know that much about how churches are ninistering to disabled children, but I know a church that does. Northwood Church in Keller, TX (a suburb of Fort Worth) has an active ministry especially to mentally and emotionally challenged children. I don't know if you will find information about it on their website (www.northwoodchurch.org), but it is at least a place to start. You might also be able to contact them and get some info from them that way. Either way, it is exciting to see how you are interacting with God and how He has led you to serve these underserved but much loved little ones.
Jimmy, you say that you have felt God tug your heart and use you when you thought you were usable. So, I'm just curious, what if God wants to use you where you are not usable on your own skills and merits? What if He wants to show that His strength is perfect in your weakness? I believe that God has definitely gifted you in a very special way for work with special needs kids and He is using you in a great way. How might He use those same talents if you did let him break your heart for the lost? Just a friendly question. :)
that post floored me... you just knocked me on my rear. thanks. never thught of it like that. i have to pounder and pray about how god can break me. i belive in being broken. i seem to make it a regular part of my life. i know that the lost are a group i do not realy have a heart for. that is something god wants to do in my life. thanks
Hi Jimmy,
I re-read your post and you actually said that you have seen God use you when you were unusable, and I thought it said usable. So actually my comment was based on reading it incorrectly, but I'm glad it made you think anyway! :)
Jimmie, I am so glad that the Lord is moving in your life! It is awesome to see you wrestle with Him! :)
