The past few days or so (even extendedly over the past year)about who I am, in Christ. And trying to "figure out" who He made me to be. I kept wanting to "find out" what He made me for. Well, over the past year or so I've realized I want to start my own ministry someday for hurting people.
Now let me share the gifts Gods given me.
~The ability to be open and honest and share everything from my heart.
~ My compassion and love for people!! (i love so deeply!)
~ Hmm, I put this under the compassion title as well, but I feel people's hurts and needs. Not like most people. I literally feel it myself. My heart bursts for them. All I can do is pray. Sometimes I literally have the ability to feel their pain (like if someone has a headache I can feel it sometimes.)
A year ago a friend encouraged me to look into my name and it's meaning. Telling me how it's biblical to know my name, b/c my name tells of my identity. Well, Christina is "Christ like/ Christ follower" Hope, we all know what Hope means. That's a pretty strong name I carry. Along with this, I've felt many times, very close to God. Like He shows me things He doesn't do for others.
Along with my wanting to start my own ministry someday, I've also had prison ministry on my heart. And now that I've started it down here too, and been in. I so how much I love them, have compassion for them, and love ministering.
I feel like I don't know quite get how to use the gifts he's given me. I've gotten into a lot of trouble and hurt w/ some of them (b/c the can also be my greatest weaknesses.) But what i realized tonight is that once I LEARN how to use them for HIM. and hone in on them, that all together, I can be an awesome, powerful person for HIM!! And that He can and will do a lot through me, if i allow Him, and use those gifts for Him and not me!!! Oh how i wish i could express this great feeling i have inside me right now..
