Tonight I felt like God was telling me to get alone with Him because He had something to tell me. I went into the bathroom and sat on the floor and He spoke to me.
I had the wrong attitude in my desire to pursue golf. I did want to be a pro golfer and have a platform for the Lord; however, God has helped me realize that my desire was more about being a golfer than it was about having a platform. This is proven through the fact that I now am a teacher. Even though I am in the public sector, I have the opportunity to influence students every day for God's glory. He has given me my wish to have a ministry for Him. Yet I was not as excited about this as I should have been, and the reason for this is because I wanted to be a golfer who had a witness. I had this backward. The greatest desire must be to glorify God, for if it is, it will not matter how He has me do this, or in what capacity. If I am surrendered as I should be, then I will do whatever God calls me to joyfully.
Thank you God for answering my prayer. Thank you for allowing me to have a job which allows me to have a ministry every single day, speaking into the lives of youth for your glory. Helping to mold them and shape them and influence them for your glory by teaching them to have good character, which is rooted in Biblical principles. Forgive me for desiring to be a golfer more than desiring to further your Kingdom. Thank you for using me.
