I'm here and made it safely. The drive is awesome through the rift valley. I had a long discussion with the driver (also a Daniel) about what it looks like to find God's calling in your life. We are very similar (of the Kikuyu tribe - they named me Kamau last time), and his aspirations were neat to talk about. He along with many of the students I have talked to at the missions conference in St. Louis all seemed to be frustrated when asking this question "How do I find God's calling?" the typical response is "Pray". I know prayer is the most powerful tool that God gives us for finding discernment in our lives, and we are supposed to be praying continuously, and if you get the chance to come to Africa you can see what this looks like. These people pray! So, my response is this:
Not only pray, but look for God's response intently.
What strengths and talents did He bless you with?
What situations have you been in that you best serve in the Kingdom mission?
What mentors did He allow you to be introduced to?
What challenges have you overcame with God's help?
Where do you feel most at ease in living the Christian life?
Where could you find persecution for presenting the gospel? -Matthew 16: 24-25
These are thoughts that have worked for me. What has God used to express His will in your life?
