Raise your hand if you knew Administration was a spiritual gift. I didn’t know until I took a quiz on spiritual gifts. Want to know my top 5?
- Administration
- Teaching
- Faith
- Helps
- Mercy
Now what is interesting is that when I took this quiz a couple of years ago this information was nice and even encouraging, but I had no real context for what it meant for my everyday life. Cut to two years later and I’m writing an article about a job that I basically invented myself, and I can trace God’s foot and fingerprints all over this job as it relates to these spiritual gifts. I promise I did not adjust this order at all, but look at the order of the gifts (listed in order of dominance), and the order of my list from my article 5 Signs You Might be a CSE:
- Administration- Google Workspace is your love language.
- Teaching- You always have a suggestion on how to make something better.
- Faith- You feel like you won a gold medal when someone tells you your advice on how to make something easier really worked.
- Helps- Your favorite part of the meeting is the “Next Steps.”
- Mercy- You like people more than systems.
Wow!
Because of my nature I tend to compartmentalize quite a bit (that is its own form of organization), but in moments like this I see God come alive in my story. Connecting all the dots, letting nothing go to waste, and that is exciting to me. It means he cares about what I think, feel, believe and desire. It empowers me to take one more step in faith, believing that where he is taking me is where I was always meant to go.
Amen in Jesus’ name.
