HIS calling, MY Arbonne, YOUR opportunity.

I'm a firm believer of 'Calling' and destiny and all that good stuff. I can not see that ours lives are purely given to us that we might be born, grow up,  get a job, get married, have kids and then die. What would be the point of that? I believe that God has pre-destined our lives. He has set aside a calling, a job for each of us. Philippians 3: 12-14 says press on to the goal, press on so that I can take hold of that which He has for me.  That calling has been fashioned and honed to our gifts, talents and passions. Over the past few years He has really been unveiling my purpose to me. Its both terrifying and exciting all at the same time. Its terrifying due to the size and enormity, there is NO way that I can do it alone. And it is exciting because I know that He has placed me here for such a time as this.

For those of you who know me and follow my blog I think you have  a sense of what my calling might be! For those who dont let me give you an idea of my heart and His calling.......

4 years ago I started to help out in a homeless shelter in the Point Road area of Durban. Over the years I have spent my time building relationships with the sex workers who are living in the shelter. Helping them with hospital appointments, jobs, getting home to family and various other tasks that no one else will help them with. (like giving birth!!)

A couple of weeks ago I met with a Natalie from an organization called Red Light. This organization works to fight Human and sex trafficking in the Durban area. Nat asked me to share what I felt God had put on my heart. When I had finished we realized that God had bought us together for a reason. Our callings and passions are almost identical and each of us are bringing different gifts and talents and experience to the table to make this calling a reality and a success.We are so excited about this new relationship and we KNOW that God has put us together.
There are a number of things that need to happen in my life before I can fully step into what God has put out in front of me. For example, I need a vehicle. The Red Light offices are miles away and so is the Shelter and various other places where we are planning to reach into. For me to really make a go of this I need a car. And I need a monthly income in order to pay for gas and insurance. I also need an income to help support my family.

That's where the 'MY Arbonne' part of my post title comes in to play..........
