Broaden my perspective....

Lately I have been thinking a lot about politics and things that relate to me as a christian. I have felt conviction for not being more interested in what is going on in foreign countries. I know that I am called to be a missionary and yet I have not found the drive to keep myself informed on things going on in foreign countries. I know the bare minimum that I need to know. I now know that I need to make an effort to be more knowledgeable about things going on in this world. 

I have been struggling with knowing "where" God wants me to go and I think part of that is that I am not allowing Him to speak to my heart. I can't want to help people that I don't know need help. I have to know where the need is and let God speak to me through that need in order for my "human" brain to understand what only the spirit can reveal...

I want to be used by God... I pray for Him to keep me in a place in my life where I can be used by Him and for His Kingdom... I don't ever want to be too busy to do what He wants me to do... Or even have obligations that my flesh has brought on that keep me from completing His will in my life. I am glad that I am in a place where I am not married and have children right now because I know that I am more easily used at this time in my life than I will be when I have children.

Well I got off on a tangent there... LOL. Well I am now just rambeling and need to go to sleep and make sure that I am staying rested up to be able to hear what God is wanting me to do and to be lead by the Spirit every day instead of by the flesh....
