I now work at Life Challenge of Southeastern Michigan. I absolutely love it! As staff, I live in a house with women of all ages who are overcoming addictions: humbly changing their lives and seeking God. I oversee their daily activities, mentor them, pray with them, and show them the love of Christ through afternoons of pulling weeds in the yard, and evenings of laughter and pink nail polish.
When I was initially called to move to Michigan, my only knowledge of God's plan was that I would be volunteering as an ESL teacher in Dearborn. With the new season, registration is finally here! Starting next week, I will be teaching women and children practical knowledge to live in our country while also opening their spiritual taste buds to the love of Christ.
At church last night, the speaker, Luke Halford, reminded me that I am called to be salt. Salt opens the tongue's taste buds to taste the already existing flavors of the food. We are not called to be the food… the message of Christ is the food. But, we are used as the salt!
Luke 14:34, Matthew 5:13 and Mark 9:50 all tell us that if we do not remain salty, we are useless. Meaning, if we are not opening others to the message of Christ, we are useless. We are called to be salt. Daily!
Are you salt... Or are you useless today?
