A New Tool
Not long after we began to home school our children, we installed a new computer - at my insistence - hidden in a roll top desk. I was actively resisting this evidence of modern technology cluttering my early colonial decor. But with all my resistance, it was I who spent the most hours typing away on the Word Processor. You see, God was not going to limit my ministry to teaching my own children - instead He expanded it to include children I will not meet until I get to Heaven.

In the mid eighties, home schooling was a new and novel idea to most people. A gentleman in our church who heard I was teaching my Kindergarten through ninth grade children, assumed that I must know something about those age groups. This was significant to him because he was the editor of a Christian Education publishing house that provided curriculum for children and teens. He asked for a sample of my writing and before I knew it,I was working right along side of my kids - developing materials for a children's program and later Junior High youth groups.

Today, as I am just learning about blogging, I am once again aware that God always answers prayers for ministry. If we desire to serve Him - He will open the way, and make in fit perfectly with the ways in which He has gifted us. I would have never guessed that God would use my enjoyment of writing along with my commitment to my family.

If you are reading this, you are probably already more savey about computers and the internet than I am. Have you considered how God could use this tool in your hands to minister to other people and bring glory to our Lord? I would love to hear your comments.
