This is the cost of doing ministry.
Among being crushed.
Laying broken before the Lord.
Humbling yourself because you know you "can't do it all".
Knowing that at any moment He could ruin your plans because He had something else planned tonight.
I was going to get to the dishes tonight.
But instead I obeyed God.
I was going to fold the 4 baskets of laundry I had.
But instead someone got free from rejection and felt love for the first time.
I was going to home school my kids today.
But instead someone got free from a curse that made them deaf to hearing the Word of God.
I was going to spend time with my husband.
But instead someone got prophesied over with a Word they needed to hear.
I was going to catch up on the last class.
But instead, the Lord opened a new door and poured out fresh fire.
THIS is the cost.
Things won't always go the way you thought or intended.
But they will ALWAYS go the way God intended IF you choose to obey God.
And at the end of the day when you lay down to go to sleep, you can rest knowing you honored the Lord and served Him with all you had ❤️

If you're not ready to be obedient, you aren't ready for ministry.
If you can't walk away with your house being messy once in awhile, you aren't ready to be sent out to the nations.
But if you're willing to lay it ALL down and seek the Kingdom of God first, you can know that ALL things will be added unto you and He WILL provide for every single need 🙏🏻
I am only a vessel and a servant, no one special. But I obeyed God and will continue to surrender my very life and my body before Him because He did the same for me on the cross ✝️
