He WIll Sustain US

1 Peter 1:2 (NIV)
       “Who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
 
     Life as a child of God whom has answered the call to serve in ministry as an evangelist and minister of the gospel is NEVER void of struggle, yet is ALWAYS filled with hope and promise. It is the dichotomy found within the “perks of the job” that help to keep me both balanced and regularly seated at the foot of the cross. This is a life accepted and journey chosen to follow. As a Candidate of Church Army USA and cafe manager at Uncommon Grounds Cafe, each day is filled with new opportunities to fail, succeed and, most importantly, rejoice in the privilege to “GET TO” do His work. 
 
    Between managing the kitchen staff and responding to customer “concerns” to providing spiritual guidance and counseling to those who “choose” the cafe as their place of sanctuary and peace, no two days in my life look the same. And for that I am thankful! However, I would be remiss to say that the burden does not become heavy at times. Balancing family life as a single mother and other ministry responsibilities outside of the cafe is definitely trying, at best. Because of this, I am thankful that because of submission to the call and authority of Jesus Christ in my life, I do not have to carry that burden myself. Psalms 55:22 says to “cast your cares on the Lord and HE will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken”. It’s that truth that fuels and powers me to go on. The fact that sanctification is being set apart for the purpose of being obedient to Christ and it’s done through the work of the Holy Spirit RELEASES me from the stress of “getting it right”. As long as I submit to the spirit doing the work and remain obedient to Jesus in my calling; I’M GOOD! 
 
“I WON’T COMPLAIN”
I’ve had some good days
I’ve had some hills to climb
I’ve had some weary days
And some sleepless nights
But when I look around
And think things over
All of my good days
Out-weigh my bad days
I won’t complain.
