Occupational Specialty

13 July 2010: We have been in Kuwait for 4 days waiting on a flight to our duty station in Afghanistan. Though it has been frustrating at times, I am glad that I was here this morning because I had a great conversation at breakfast this morning. I talking with someone about my beliefs about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and I was able to explain it in military terms that I think really hit home.

Every Soldier in the Army is assigned a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and given the training and tools he or she needs to complete that mission. In the same way "...one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills." the Holy Spirit gives us what we need spiritually to accomplish the tasks God has specifically designed us for!
