International awareness week is officially over. I have come out of it ready and if necessary, willing to go into another country if God calls me there! I still don’t desire to go… but the point is that I’m available to follow God’s call.
The main story of the week is what’s coming next. The staff have been watching and praying over us to see who will emerge as leaders. They have chosen people to head up the different teams, bible studies, and even manage the entire project! I was not chosen to be in a position of leadership. At first I could be described as offended. I’ve been a Christian for a really long time and feel that I know my stuff… but then the popular quote came to mind and changed my state of mind. ”God does not call the equipped, he equips the called!” Although I am not a leader in status, I can still be a leader in how I respect those who have that status, how I conduct my behavior, and how I spend my time. I’ve decided that I will be the best follower that it’s possible for me to be!
I have some ideas for the project. I have noticed a need and will be setting about to help provide a fix. In a later blog, I will describe this idea. unfortunately, time is a precious resource and I cannot do that now.
Praise God for his unconditional love!
