Why I Am Prepared to Prepare You

I was sitting in my lounge chair thinking about how I would volunteer to help people when I retired. I had my eyes closed, looking through the window of my imagination to what I thought my future would be.

Then it happened. It wasn't as dramatic as God speaking to Moses or any of the Old Testament prophets, but it caught my attention. A question broke into my train of thought. "Why are you waiting to help my hurting people?"

Shortly thereafter, I began volunteering at a church health ministry, delivering for Meals on Wheels, and volunteering to visit hospice patients.

But the Lord wasn't finished with me. He wanted more. So I began acquiring the knowledge and credentials to begin helping His "hurting people" as a professional.
