Should I Volunteer?

Is full-time volunteer work right for me ?  
What questions should I ask myself in making this decision?  

Volunteers have many motivations for service, but one of the primary motives is the willingness to serve God and to see Christ in all those they serve.  Lay volunteer ministry is truly a gift, both in offering yourself to others and in all that you receive in return.  Are you willing to accept this gift?  Discerning whether volunteering is the right choice for you at this time is an important first step for anyone considering service.  Below are links to resources that may be helpful in your discernment process.
