Spiritual Gifts

Yikes! Time flies by SO quickly...I can't believe it's almost the end of October...Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner! Not a whole lot of goings on in the Preiss household. I am enjoying loving on my niece :) Life is such a precious gift! Also, Chris and I are helping lead the Middle School youth ministry at our church. It's been a lot of fun! And God is doing some great things! We are also delving in to our High School girls and guys groups...reading Every Young Woman's/Man's Battle and having some AMAZING conversation! It has only re-iterated the fact that our personal stories have value and can speak into other's lives! Very cool.

BUT...what's really been on my mind lately (thanks to a dear friend of mine) is spiritual gifts. What exactly are my spiritual gifts and am I using them completely to glorify God? Just because I'm decent at something and I am doing a lot of it, does that mean that it is my spiritual gift? Or do I just like to do it? For example...teaching. Is it a spiritual gift or is it something that I just happen to do because I like to do it? Or playing music. Is there anything I'm missing? Is there a God given something in me that I'm not using for Him?

Those are some of the thoughts running through my random brain...Any thoughts from you readers (if any of you exist) would be welcomed!

Thanks for reading and putting up with my blabber :)

    Life is always full of seasons, you may be a teacher now becasue that is what God has gifted you with but a few years down the line God may change that. I think we all have talents that we could use but we don't, if thay are gifts or not I don't know but I believe that God always use's exactly what we are willing to give, so we need to make sure that we are in a place where we are open for God to do that.
