When I was a kid, I thought I was a sinner for not wanting to be a missionary. I thought all good, Godly Christians walk up to random strangers on the street and tell them about salvation and Hell fire. I can't do that. At all. The vary thought freaked the tar out of me.
What I understand was God likes to have fun. Think about it. If creation is an example of who God is, and every baby animal likes to play, why wouldn't God? He made the platypus for goodness sakes! Now that's a goodie looking animal! (And, no. I'm not dissing on platypuses.)
God wants us to enjoy life, not drag us across the world and force us to preach as we pee our pants. If you're a missionary or going to be, more power to you. I don't have that gift and God knows it. He knows that I am gifted in writing, that's just what I do. I love it and God has blessing me with it. Therefore, my mission is to share my God through my stories. He has placed this desire, passion, and drive to saturate the world with my tales and He told me He'll get into everyone. So, what's your passion? What drives you? What has God placed in your heart that can't seem to leave? That's from Him. He put it there for a reason and will show you how to use it for the kingdom.
Don't be afraid Him about it, remember God likes to have fun. He's guided me to a roller derby team! A sport a player slams people to the ground and yells in triumph when they crash is not the standard evangelistic rout. God's never been One to follow human rules though. (I bet you, He sits in the front stand for everyone of my games, popcorn in hand and wearing my team colors!)
What has He put in your heart? Doesn't have to be something Biblical, or even spiritual. Roller derby was not meant to be spiritual and writing can be used for evil. Ask God what He has gifted you with, because you do have something powerful inside you; God. He's in every believers' heart and God does not sit idly without bringing about radical change. Let Him change you. Let your adventure begin!
