If you were going to start a ministry who would you choose to be the feet of your ministry. God has shown me not to rely on what I feel but on what he wants. I have a lady that challenged me in the ministry. She has Cerebal Palsy and is in a wheel chair. She told me at the beginning of the "Digging A Well" ministry, that she wanted to be my feet. Many people would have laughed by this statement. I really felt lead that God wanted Jonean to be the "Feet Of The Ministry". Jonean has truly been the feet of the mninistry. She has been a blessing in my life in so many ways. If Jonean wasn't a part of this ministry, I am positive that this ministry would not exist. When I feel like giving up she urges me on. She believes with all her heart that this is a ministry that is going to help many women become diggers Of faith.
If you were going to choose someone to be the feet of you ministry, would you choose the feet that has been to the beauty salon, perfectly painted, no bunyons, wearing the most expensive cute flip flops or would you choose someone in a wheel chair. Too many times our choices are made by the outward appearance instead of looking on the heart. Maybe this is why so many times we fail in the ministry.
God has shown me he can use people who are disabled to use their disability for him. A blind person will be able to see things that we can't because they use their spiritual insite. A person that is confined to a bed, can minister deeper than those of us who come and go daily as we please. May God continue to show those of you with disabilities that you can be used in a powerful way for his glory. If you have CP, MS, Cancer, Heart Desease, or any other thing you feel has stopped your well from flowing. Pray and ask God how he can use your disability for His glory. I am positive he will do this if you are willing to give that disablilty to him.
