Read an interesting article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this morning: "Spiritual Inspiration". About Roma Downey and the new film she is in, "Women of the Bible".
She also runs an organization to help displaced Christians in Syria, Iraq and neighboring areas called "The Cradle of Christianity Fund."
She feels fortunate that she has been able to combine what she believes in with what she loves to do. Not everyone gets to do that.
"We must have clarity about the mission. I look for people I respect who are practical-minded. I want to be sure it's the sort of project that I can bring something of value to, and in which I'm being involved in a meaningful way. So I always ask myself: Is it a mission I believe in? Do I believe in the people who are in it? and Does it use my talents and gifts in a way that engage me?"
There's a lot of noise going on in the world. We need to listen to God speaking to us and that it is God that is speaking.
Maybe the real question should be, "What is your vision for your life?" Or "What is your vision for your city or neighborhood?"
When I stand before Jesus one day, I want to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant". Isn't that what you want to hear?
