The Harvest is Plentiful, The Workers Are Few....

Over the past few weeks I've been traveling across North Carolina a lot and in the past Month I cant say that I've seen the same preacher speak twice. As I've been moving around for various occasions such as the wedding I attended Yesterday here in Raleigh, Easter last week in Wilmington at my Sister's with my mother and my cousin and her fiance, and the weeks before either being in Charlotte for Elevation or volunteering with Motion, I have (as you could imagine) seen many people and done a lot of things.

The reoccuring theme that keeps coming to my head though as I see so many different people in so many different places is The Harvest is Plentiful, The Workers Are Few....

Luke 10:1-8

[1] After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. [2] He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. [3] Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. [4] Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.

[5] "When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.' [6] If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you. [7] Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house. [8] When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you."

With this theme reoccuring in my head I also started to wondering about what God would have me do with my life and where he would have me live it, such as when I am done with college where am I going to go?

Home? I dont think so at first personally (sorry Mom).

Stay in Charlotte? Maybe... I do enjoy Elevation but theres no designated Ministry for what I want to do really.

Seminary? Sounds cool but where?

And then I started thinking. The Harvest is plentiful the Workers are Few. And (though not audible) God kinda told me through the voice in my head, I'll use you wherever you are and whatever you do. The Harvest is plentiful anywhere you go so be my worker and reap the harvest. So through the coming years I intend to do God's work "as I go" and I look foward to seeing where I end up.
