My brain is still stewing over the strengths and skills that God has given me and how best I can leverage them for God's glory and kingdom. How can I use those skills here and now? What should I change in order to be able to use them more fully?
But I think the thing I need to remember the most was from the last page of the LifeGrowth Guide.
"Strengths, skills, and who we're called to serve show up as patterns over many years."
Although I bet many of us wish we could just know how and what to do as we became aware of the world, it's not that easy for so many reasons. Our journeys teach us love, compassion, and joy. If we were to miss that learning curve then our gifts wouldn't be worth as much if their purpose is to point toward Him - they would just point toward us.
We don't have to have it all figured out today. Or even tomorrow. Continually seek Him, serve him and leverage your gifts for purposes greater than yourself and He'll show you the way.
In the meantime, know you aren't useless. He's using you in the process because the process is an end unto itself. He loves you and sees you as #alreadyamazing because He made you that way.
