🌿 “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few…” – Luke 10:2

Have you ever resisted a nudge from God because it just felt… like too much? You’re not alone. In this honest and encouraging reflection, Allison Gingras Reconciled To You / Allison Gingras shares her own journey from comfort to calling—and how letting others serve alongside her became a blessing for everyone.

Ministry can be messy, vulnerable, and exhausting. But when we say yes, God provides the help we didn’t know we needed—and the grace to keep going.

✨ Feeling called to serve, but unsure you’re enough?

My foot slipped, and I crashed spectacularly into her mother’s prized rosebush. While my friend stifled laughter, I looked toward heaven with a sigh and a sarcastic, “Seriously, God?”

Five days before, I began a prayer to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux for three special intentions. Three things I thought at the age of fifteen would make my life complete: a boyfriend, a job, and a car.
