Trusting Him

This week is a week of growth. Nothing like growing up. If someone had asked me when I was in high school if I thought I would be in these situations, I would have laughed in their faces. I never in a million years thought I would be a youth leader, teaching any form of a class, work in ministry, or even mentor anyone. This whole experience would have been too much for my little teen mind to handle. But that's exactly how I know God has been leading me the whole way. I haven't freaked out. I haven't said "NOPE. This is too much God. Find someone else." I'm actually at peace with it. I'm careful not to walk away. Sometimes, when we avoid conflict, we inflict the most damage. God trusted me, I can't let him down. 

Now, that doesn't mean that I'm as cool as a cucumber with everything. In fact I'm facing a lot of situations this week alone that has caused me so much stress and frustration. But what puts me at peace is knowing that God wouldn't have chosen me unless He trusted me. Unless He knew that I had something to bring to the table. A different perspective that might bring order to the chaos.

I'm treading very lightly on all of these subjects. Just because He trusts me does not mean I can allow my head to get too big. I'm still human and capable of making mistakes. So this week I have learned a lot about allowing God to direct me in everything I do, and everything I say. I'm very careful to not take this into my own hands and say "God trusts me so I got this." The only way I can get through anything is through Him, and His divine leading and wonderful peace. So I guess this is me, publicly stating I will not back down from fighting for Him and following His lead.
