"He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Thessalonians 2:14
Some people know me for singing. Others from hair salons, dancing studios, writing, poetry, blogging, clothing and etc. In the tenth grade I wanted to know what I knew myself for. So I learned many things and looked for what best fit me. I wanted to find what people said often which was "My Calling". What was calling me? What was my passion? What drove me to my knees? and What put an immediate smile on my face? All these questions were eager to be answered when I turned sixteen. I had a very nice party that my mom paid for and planned. During that night I wondered what was I called to do in the earth. What was the answer to these questions I just couldn't seem to answer. I figured it out. I could only seek God for it though.
I knew I needed God to show me though because I was at that age when whatever your friends said you were good at you believed you should do. And if boys liked it then your automatically loved it!
In high-school I sang about love, romance, sex, boys, money and all sorts of stuff because it was popular and that's what everybody liked to hear of course. I would do shutout videos on Facebook and sing the persons requested song. I grew a pretty good following until one day my Godmother asked me to sing "Jesus your the center of my Joy" by Richard Smallwood. I thought to myself this isn't a cool song to sing. Plus i don't even know a Jesus!
I began to get frustrated singing the song because when I sang my mother would say "Morgan sing with more passion" I stared at her saying "Ma, Jesus is not the center of my joy, I have no passion for it because he's not" and she says "Well maybe you need to read about him because your not going to get up and sing like that at a weeding." I paused and thought "okay I guess". . . . so I did read about him. I still didn't understand to the fullest extent which i don't think we ever will. But I knew more than I did before.
I had found my calling. I didn't realize that singing was my calling because of what I was singing about. But when I sang about him I grew a new confidence.
Life trows major curve balls at us and if we are smart we should catch them because they are perfect at setting us up for a great come back. I was searching for my passion which started with singing and evolved into writing, poetry, dancing, creating clothes and more.
I just want to encourage you today to read the story of Jesus and how he walked into his calling in life he was sure of his call and perfect at it.
so, creator what's your calling?
Today lord of heaven and father of all humanity we want to thank you for your kindness and love towards us. I love you for your mercy that you extend towards us each day. Today i come and ask you boldly for my friends that we be thrust into our calling. We know that we have a mandate from heaven to fulfill some given ability or task in this world. Some of them know exactly what it is and others are still searching I pray that we all have clarity on this very subject of our faith. I command our call to find us and our destiny to line up with reality. I command my life to adjust to your commandment and your ways and I am confident you will move on our behalf for you love us and keep us safe from all harm. In Jesus name. Amen
