just between us...

have you ever seen those assessment tests? you know, those quizzes where you answer questions to find out what you're going to be when you grow up. how about the test you take to find out what spiritual gifts you have? or how about the quiz on facebook to determine which "Friends" character you are? okay, maybe not the last one...

now, i'm not dissing those quizzes because they can be very helpful. i mean, i took them when i was younger and some actually helped me see things in myself i hadn't before. but, i think sometimes we spend so much time taking the tests and quizzes about ourselves that we actually miss out on living and serving.

want to know how i really found out about myself? want to know my secret? i DID something. i got in the game. i learned more about my giftedness and my serving abilities while i was actually serving. i learned more about my personal goals and passions while i was doing something - anything - even if it wasn't the ideal.

you want my advice? if you want to know what God wants you to do; if you want to figure out how you're gifted - start doing something. seriously, stop analyzing and evaluating and start serving.

it's when we're in motion that God can use us - danger comes in stagnant living.
