Guest daddys_lil_girl Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 This may sound a little confusing but...what if you were at church and the pastor asked everyone to come up and decree what God had planned for our lives...if we knew, and that person didnt go. Is God upset/disappointed? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest daddys_lil_girl Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hey guys...thanks for the advice. Just to let you all know...God has called me into the childern's ministry. I did not go on stage to say anything I am not sure why. I feel God may be disappointed in me because I did not go up. I am not really sure where to start with this...although at church Sunday they also made an announcement that they needed help with the children's church during the revival...maybe this is it. Anyway...something to pray about I'd appreciate all the prayers/advice I can get. Love you all talk to you later. Tracey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i was made to tell then i would just say yes i think God has plan for me but thats private at this point and just leave it at that. Your relationship with God shouldnt be made public knowledge unless you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you feel that God wants you to tell people about your plans.... then the Lord has no requirement of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you WANT to share, OK. The most important thing is that you respond to God's leadings. Whether you make that public or not is up to you, and to whether HE prompts you to!
