During my morning prayer I sat asking God for direction as I continue on my journey with Him.  I needed him to point me down the right direction because sometimes I get so lost in everything I’m trying to manage on my own, that I lose my sense of direction.  So instead of getting anywhere, I stay stuck going in circles.  I seriously needed clarity from God on what I should be doing and how to go about in getting things done if I truly wanted to see some major changes in my life.  As I prayed I found myself telling God I wanted to be His ARROW.  I don’t want to be the final destination for people seeking guidance in their lives.  I want to be that person, God’s Arrow, that directs them to Him.  I want to be able to lead the lost and confused, the hurting and lonely, directly to the one person that I know can give them that peace and comfort they seek.  I want to point them in the right direction to the one and only person that can give them the answers and fill in those voids and emptiness they may be feeling.  God doesn’t use me to make myself look good or so that I can become more popular on Facebook.  God uses me to show others what He is doing in my life and how real He is through my experiences.  I have seen God do miracles in healing my oldest son when he was 3 and I have experienced the healing of unforgiveness I had for others.  I have watched God take my grandfather from what doctors called his death bed to him living another 5 years preaching God’s word till God was ready for him.  I have experienced God’s mercy when He lifted me up from my lowest point and reminded me I Am Worth so much to Him and He loves me.  I am a work in progress and I’m proud that everyday, after every mistake, after every moment of weakness, when I come to God with my whole heart asking for forgiveness, He forgives me and erases the mistakes from His mind.  Today I saw myself, not just as a God loving woman seeking to help others, but as God’s Arrow…His helper here on this beautiful earth pointing others to Him.  You don’t have to always have all the right words, or look a certain way or be perfect in all your ways.  God just wants your love and belief in Him.  Be An Arrow for God.  Point others to Him.  Give those lost, the direction they seek to Him  Be the light that guides them when life seems completely dark for them.
