Hearts In Harmony? Yes or No?

Last night i was at a very  social gathering... a very mono cultural gathering and someone sought me out to ask that profound question as to how do stay in a congregation of folk who don't look like you? This question is as equally profound as when I was in seminary and white folk would say well... How did you get to Calvin Seminary? I always thought to myself... here we go... somebody goin' fishin' with really no intention of catching anything. I use think that I should print out on a card all the answers to the same questions I was always asked. I never did that for fear I would seem as superficial as my questioner.  I just want TO GET REAL! I don't make any excuses for being obedient to where God has called me. I know that I AM called to this particular denomination because when I even think about going back to ALL-BLACK I become severely burdened. So it is not for me to question God's sovereignty. I pray everyday "thy will be done".  Which means I go where He wants me to go. I'm here to tell you that I am not the only one led in this way. There are a lot of "US" out there doing what God beckons leaning on his promises. I just know that any person that is in the minority representation is called to be an asset to the majority dominate culture. And there is not a lot of time to be wasting trying to figure things out!  Yup! Whatcha' think about that?
