Dear friends, I haven’t heard from ANY of you lately! Which is a bit saddening. My mailbox has been empty for about a week. But that’s ok. I’m so busy lately. I’ve had 5 performances within the first month of school. One of which I single handedly put together myself. I’ve had 2 weekend visits to my YF’s house. I’ve already done 3 essays-- one of which was about my own development since birth (Educational Psycology! YIKES) But I’ve been having a blast trying to do everything and anything I can... Or maybe I’ve just been running myself down. Who knows. But anyway, I am writing this for some prayer. My dear friends, the Lord’s been working in my life a lot lately. And I’ve been struggling because I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I’ve been abundantly blessed with great musical ability, leadership abilities, and ministry abilities. There are three things I am VERY passionate about. 1) Music. 2) Kids. 3) God. My problem is that I am always told by people that I’d be the best musical conductor (or teacher). I have the same problem because everyone says I’d be the best pastor/minister. And that’s the biggest problem. Because I believe with my whole heart that I would make a WONDERFUL whatever I do. And that’s a blessing God’s given me. The personality I have is very energetic, charismatic, and funny. I have a way of making people like me and listen to me. Both great qualities to be a youth pastor or a music director. I want to do both. But here’s the dillema. Only one can be my job. One will be the reason I get up in the morning and enjoy my work. The other will be a second priority thing where I enjoy it very much, but I can’t put my WHOLE heart into. The choice is music or ministry. And I know I “could” combine them. But that’s not my calling. I don’t want to be a pastor/musician. I want to either be a musician who does some ministry or a pastor who sometimes sing or plays an instrument for the congregation to minister them. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a GREAT dillema to face! It’s an honor to be honest. But it upsets me so much. My heart hurts so much because I don’t know what to do! But I guess I just have to wait. I hope in the Lord! And he is my refuge. Praise HIM! God bless you all. Please pray for me and any advice or empathetic words would be appreciated! Love, Huck Finn |
