Who's with me?

So, a friend of mine called me the other day and told me about all the trials her family is currently suffering.  It is unbelievable the amount of things that are going wrong!  Her marriage, finances, car, are all under fire and some things I can't even mention.  We got to talking about faith and she said something that made me think.  She told me that her and her husband decided years ago to start this ministry and they feel very led to continue it even though it is time and money demanding and they really don't have either.  She said that when you step out in faith to follow the Lord's leading (and have a ministry) you put yourself in a position for Satan to try and stop you.  I think what she meant was that when you follow the Lord, you put yourself right in Satan's missile path.  She is being attacked from all sides because her family is obeying what they feel is the Lord's will for their life.  It got me thinking. (oh no! here it comes!)...
   If you are not struggling with something hard, are you really stepping out and following the Lord?  or Do we have to be struggling with awesome life problems to be following God?  It made me think about my own current present life.  I am not currently struggling with anything big.  I always have small things but nothing major that would cause me to be on my knees begging God to intervene.  Am I doing what He needs me to do?  Or is this just a resting period before the storm?  I don't know.  I am not struggling with anything big but I have to be honest, I am not doing anything big for God right now either.  I am laying low, taking a summer off of everything.  I am not ministering to anybody, witnessing to anybody, taking any churchy classes, nothing.  I am taking a walk everyday, hanging out with my kids, cleaning, and watching alot of BBC movies.  I am not inviting people over to share Jesus with them.  I am not going on mission trips (although I did support our church trip and I prayed for them).  I am not doing anything that would cause me to be uncomfortable or feel tingly or anything! 
  Now, before I get emails from people setting me straight, I am not saying that trials mean we are following God.  Nor am I saying that if we are following God, we have to also be struggling with something.  But it did make me think about my own life.  I want to serve God with my whole being.  I also want God to refine me into something He can use for His glory.  But nothing is going to happen if I sit on my butt and don't go out there and talk to people!  Or if I am only hanging out with my saved friends and not attempting to reach out to people.   I know God can work through my laziness but is that what I want to be shown when I stand before Him?  No!  We had a guest pastor at our church this past Sunday and he said something like this: "Do we want to leave buttprints on our couches or do we want to leave kneeprints on the floor and teardrops on the couch because we were praying?  Do we want to leave empty bank accounts because we supported ministries and ragged clothes because we were working so hard for the Kingdom?" 
   I want to work hard for the Kingdom.  I do.  But I need to cast aside my laziness and my fear and get out there and do!  Who's with me??  Who's ready to cast off the lethargy of summer and reach people for God?  Who's ready to be put in Satan's missile path because we are considered lethal threats?  (puts on super cool sunglasses) Let's do this.
