I am nervous, anxious, scared, tense (the list goes on) about Saturday. I was invited to speak at a youth camp and, as the day gets closer, so do my insecurities. Will those kids really pay any attention to what I'll be saying? Will they see how nervous I am? Will anything I say make any sense to them? What will I actually say to them? Ahhhh!!!!!
The crazy thing is that I know that this was an opportunity provided by God himself, so I know that He will do His thing. It's just that, you know, I'm HUMAN and I just want to hide under a blanket, inside a closet, inside a room with no windows!!
Man, I only wonder what Moses must have felt like, or Joshua, when it was his turn to lead. I guess this feeling is normal and even OK, as long as I don't let it keep me from what God wants to do in me and through me. I guess it's time for me to "be strong and courageous!" It's time for me to rest in the promise that "the Lord my God is with me wherever I go" (Joshua 1:9b)
God, I can't do this on my own, I don't intend to. Just do your thing and help me not get in the way. This is your gig...
