I have been conflicted recently. I want to be a leader for my College Ministry. It will take time and a lot of dedication from me. I know this. I just do not feel ready, but ready at the same time. As a servant of God, I know when He says go, I should go.
We have talked about Luke 1:39-56 in my small group and it was what my pastor spoke on today. It is a truly remarkable passage because an angel comes to Mary and says you are going to give birth to the Son of God. Mary was a virgin and engaged. Instead of saying no, my town will not believe that I am a virgin. I have a husband to be who will never marry me, I will be shunned. She said Yes. She said yes without doubting anything God's angel told her. She did not focus on herself, she focused on God. She also went to her cousin Elizabeth, who was much older. Even Elizabeth was going to have a baby despite her age. Both women were over joyed.
It is remarkable what God can do. In the Old Testament there is a book called Numbers. In Numbers Chapter 22, God uses a donkey to speak to Balaam. God also sends an angel to stop Balaam from going with the princes. The donkey saves Balaam's life. If God can use a farm animal, and make it speak the language we speak, I believe He could use me. "For Nothing is impossible with God." Luke 1:38 NIV
I think I will take that Leadership role in my college ministry. I know it means staying where I am for college. It is not the end of the world if I do not get that International Business degree that I wanted. I can still work around the world, and still travel with out the word International on a piece of paper from a college.
For the moment I actually feel like I am following God's will. I just pray I am doing the right thing, and that I am doing it for God, not myself.
