One way that I have seen God working in my life is through taking a spiritual gifts class and learning about some of the gifts that God has given me. For example one of my top 3 spiritual gifts is leadership. One way that I have seen God using my gift of leadership is by just helping me to be a good example for other people. Another one of my spiritual gifts was faith. One way that I have seen God using my gift of faith is by helping me have faith in him and by showing others what it means to have faith in God. Another one of my spiritual gifts was craftsmanship. One way I have seen God use my gift of craftsmanship is my calling me to go on a mission trip with my church and help put roofs on a couple houses. I think that on this mission trip I went on I could see God using all 3 of my main gifts. One way my leadership was shown was by helping everyone who needed help. One way my faith was shown was by just going to the houses and helping on them and being able to show God’s love to the people. Another way was when a boy that lived in the house came up to me and asked, ” is this fun for you guys, do you like doing these roofs?” I told him that we do like doing the roofs. In my head I thought I like doing it, but, the reason im doing it is not for me but it is to show others what it means to act like Christ. One way my gift of craftsmanship was shown was by just having a general idea of how to build the things we were building. On this trip I got to interact with 2 of the kids at the house my group was assigned to work at. I learned that the main thing for me at this house was not helping do the roof and working but, the main part was interacting with the 2 kids by playing catch with a football with him or just talking. One way that I learned that interacting with the kids was more important was from my youth group leader. I was playing with the kid and I told him I had to make sure that they didn’t need me at the time on the roof, so I went over to my youth group leader and said, ” do you need me right now?” He said, “what your doing with that kid is more important” I learned that he was trying to tell me that I was blessing that kid because that kid didn’t have that many people that live by him that play catch with him so I should keep playing catch because I was sharing God’s love with him.  This trip taught me that I am so blessed that I need to go and be a light for God by going on mission trips and sharing his word. I think that God is going to send me on more mission trips because that is where he wants me to be.
