Praying for GOD knows what

For years I've tried to figure out what my passion is as far as the Kingdom. I'm a very passionate person, and so the fact that I didn't have any ministry that really grabbed ahold of me made me feel almost like there was something wrong with me. I suppose there have always been the Jews, but it's never felt like there was a place for me to serve. There are words and languages, but I met with Wycliffe twice and wasn't feeling it. And there are so many other wonderful causes out there - fighting sex trafficking, teaching Sunday school, helping the homeless, assisting orphanages and schools in other countries...so many good things. But I felt like the prince in "Ever After." I felt like if I cared about anything I'd have to care about everything and I'd go stark raving mad. And so sure, I'd give money when people went on mission trips, and I'd happily pick out gifts in the Samaritan's Purse Christmas Gift catalogue. But there was nowhere I felt called to serve, nowhere I cared to serve (I do nursery because it's easy and I feel like I have to do something), because none of it was my passion.
But I've found it. And it makes sense. What are my favorite things? Books. What's my favorite book? "Les Miserables." Who's my favorite character? Jean Valjean. And like that one wall photo says, "I have non-fictional feelings for fictional characters." I adore Jean Valjean. I love his story of redemption. "One thing was certain, nor did he himself doubt it, that he was no longer the same man, that all was changed in him..."
Now here I am, going to church on Wednesday nights with a group that consists of many (mostly, even) people who have been in prison and/or who are former alcoholics and addicts (while Jean Valjean was never an addict, in our society these things often go together). I love these people. I love them so very much. I want there to be some way I can serve them. I don't know how yet, but I know that I've finally found my passion. Finding it is a start at least. I'll have to ask the ladies in small group if they have any ideas. Currently I wash the tables after our meals, cuz that's the only thing I know to do, but there must be something more. So that's my current prayer. That GOD will show me some way HE can use me. In my now found field. Praise GOD.
