Walking in His will

     Since the Congress is on recess, (for more than a month) and there is much spare time, I decided to be a more prolific writer and share my heart for the world wide web to see. My aim really is for people to know about the God I am serving. I wish to to make Him more famous than He already is.  

         Basically what I do in the day when I'm in the office is to study materials from the House of Representatives and try to understand the dynamics of the legislative body. I've been working here for more than a month and I really love it. I get to be in the government and intercede for this nation on a daily basis. When my boss is around (who is my dad) I basically do research for him on certain bills that he needs data on. I sort of act as a personal secretary and a consultant too. 

          Weeks before my graduation (april 29) God really impressed on me to be about my father's business. Working for him as one of the staff here is far from what I have planned, but when God shanghais you, there's really no resisting. I believe that I am in the perfect will of God and there's no better place than that. Being around my Dad has changed our relationship a lot. Also, as a Congressman he makes a lot of very important decisions that could affect millions of people. Having a daughter who prays and ministers to him does a lot to advance God's purposes in his life and in the nation.

       I placed God in a box by thinking that it's only in mission fields or full time ministry that i am able to render to Him my service. A poured out life doesn't just look like that of Heidi Baker, Jennifer Toledo or   Mike Bickle. I would absolutely love to be like them but I could carry out the same heart and abandonment in a completely different context, i.e. Government. 

         At the end of the day, all I wanna do is to be obedient to Him. I truly want desire dependence on the Holy Spirit in every single decision-making there is in my life. And well, He lead me here. My heart burns for Him and my Spirit is so sensitive to His presence even if Im out of the prayer room and here in the office doing research. 

 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
