just a piece of kindling

I was sharing with mom today that I was praying about joining one of two committees.   As we shared with each other about the pros and cons she said,  "You know the Lord may use you to simply come alongside to encourage"

I immediately saw a piece of "kindling"   (you know that small piece of dry wood that catches flame easily but does not burn long)
Being from a long line of "fire-starters" :)) I know that most often it takes more than one piece of kindling to start a fire blazing ~ but put another one with it ~  VOILA!  You can start a fire!

Friend don't get discouraged.   

First are you sure you are where the Lord would have you?  Too often we place ourselves without even asking HIS direction
If so ~ GREAT!
If not ~   get to your knees, ask forgiveness and do what you have to do.

Second  do you know what the Lord has for you?
Have you asked?  Are you afraid?  Do you think you don't have anything to offer?
If the Lord is prompting you....move ahead.
You may be that second piece of kindling that will get the fire going.

HE has plans for you you know......As long as you have breath the Lord has a purpose for your life.
Why don't you make sure you know what it is and join HIM in it!

Blessings!! 
Its good to be back  thanks for any and all prayers!
