When the average person finds Jesus, and is saved, he or she usually wants to serve God in some special way. Believe it or not, becoming overanxious about doing God's will, is a waste of time, and not what God wants for you. You should pray about what His plan is for you, rather than compare yourself to someone you think is really serving God. Such an example would be a preacher and a large church. The person you are trying to emulate is doing God's plan for him or her. You have your own plan from God.
God has a job for each of His children. Most of the jobs are not high profile, but ordinary tasks for ordinary people. That does not mean that they are not just as important in God's eyes; He sees the heart.
When Jesus was talking to His disciples just before He ascended to Heaven, He told them to take the word to all people among other things. He was talking to ordinary people. If you read Galatians 5:22-24, you have instructions from the Lord himself on how to be an example to everyone you meet. You are empowered by the Holy Spirit when you are saved. In this way, you are planting seeds of salvation that the Holy Spirit will make grow.
By following what it says in Galatians chapter 5, you are also fulfilling what it says in James 1:22-23, but be doers of the word, and not hearers only deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; he observes himself, goes away and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
To make a long story short, as the old saying goes, actions speak louder than words. When you follow your faith with actions, you are doing more to preach the Word of God than you think. If you keep praying, God will let you know if He wants you to do more, or something else. God bless you and your family.
Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus Loves You
