Ready for work

I recently talked to a grad who was having a great ministry to her coworkers. It was so encouraging. We often pray for students that even if they don't go into 'vocational' ministry that they will own the idea that they minister to the people around them wherever they are.

This woman was relating that she often traveled with coworkers and had long flights and other extended times with them. She was excited for all the conversations they had and that often people would bring up questions of their own.

I am in vocational ministry at the time and realize that I can separate my 'work' from my life. As if ministry for me only happens at work. I'm seeing that I don't do a lot to pursue my neighbors or other peers.

It's great when God challenges me to take faith steps through the people I used to challenge.
