The cry of a directionless sheep

Have you ever felt lost, not knowing which direction God wants you to head for?
Well, as all may already know, i'm notorious for being directionless. Let's just say that's my nature.
Ever since i've gotten out of the friendship bondage, i've been wondering...what next?
For the past month or so, i've been seeking, but not that fervently though.
I've been searching for a direction, a sign from God as to how i can serve Him in church and also which cell group i should go for.
It seems quite clear that God has opened dear's cell group for me and thus, i'm currently trying to settle down and bond with dear's cell.
As to serving God in church and in campus, i'm still feeling quite lost and directionless in that sense.
You know, during service today, I was looking at the dancers, the worship leaders, the musicians...and i thought to myself, "wow, what a wonderful feeling these people must be feeling..to be able to serve God with such joy and to be immersed in such great passion".
And i really wished that I was one of them, dancing, singing and playing the instruments to worship God. What great joy it must be to be filled with that desire and passion to seek Him more!
I wondered and asked God, "Father, how can i serve you? What abilities do i have? I can't sing well, i can't dance at all, i can't play the piano or guitar well enough!" Yes, i know that God doesn't look at how good your skills are, but rather, true worship comes from the heart. I know, God sees the heart of every worshipper.
But then again, there must be a ministry that God wants me to serve in! I'm seeking for a sign that really brings me to a specific ministry.
I don't know what plans God has for me but i pray, that God will open the specific door for me and when that door has opened, i pray that i'll be receptive and be able to discern His signs for me.
I may not have any talent in singing, playing or dancing, but i'm sure God can use my limited abilities to glorify Him. Let's not belittle ourselves and judge our very own abilities, for God has created us with His very own hands.
God's goodness, is ever lasting.
I was really lucky to be able to see this full rainbow, while on the coach in Sydney. It truly reminded me of God's goodness.
