One of my God given strengths is organization in order to bring resolution.\u00a0It seems that, mind you through time and still growing, there can be a task placed directly in\u00a0front of me that may seem to be very difficult to organize. However, the fact that I am a\u00a0Melancholy by creation and a task oriented person, I can look at objective and devise a plan that\u00a0is effective and efficient. God simply amazes me and I have to take a moment, many times to just\u00a0say how, but mostly thank you Lord. God gives vision and the strategy to complete. The Holy\u00a0Spirit will not allow me to rest until a solution to execute the plan, with adjustable parameters in\u00a0order to meet the demand\/s of the assignment, is at hand. God has given me the vision to see the\u00a0plan orchestrated in multiple ways so that no matter what happens we can always adjust for\u00a0effectiveness and get it done.<\/p>\n<p>It seems as though, God shows me the problem, but is already because of prayer, guiding me into\u00a0the solution. Now I understand that working out a situation is not always a one man\u2019s work.\u00a0Although God shows me solution, that is adjustable, many times, it takes a willing team to bring\u00a0forth a great vision and\/or resolution. I LOVE TEAMWORK!!! I was raised in a large family,\u00a0and we would always have family gatherings and work together. So, my mindset is always, even\u00a0in organizational resolution, team work.<\/p>\n<p>I can admit, I have to make sure that I submit to the Holy Spirit for guidance in this capacity,\u00a0because sometimes being so task oriented and striving to be very organized can cause me to\u00a0become very compulsive. I truly have to constantly seek God and depend upon His Spirit to keep\u00a0me balanced. Thanks be to God when submitting to Him, He directs us through the process. It is\u00a0like within me, the Spirit of God is saying, we can\u2019t waste time, let\u2019s get this task done and I will\u00a0direct you through the process because souls, lives, and people are at stake.<\/p>\n<p>So, in other words, making ready a people prepared for the Lord, is resolution, but takes\u00a0organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout the years of my Christian Journey God has revealed my strengths as well as\u00a0weaknesses that the Holy Spirit has guided in, which have been utilized in both ministry as well\u00a0as societal capacities.
