Watching and Waiting

It seems to be what I'm doing recently in my life. I'm watching what's going on, and waiting to see where God is going to take me next. So many things have changed recently that I can't even begin to list them but it seems each day has brought something new to the board. It's exciting, but at the same time I'm scared out of my mind. I realize now that the decisions I made a couple years back, have started to shape how my life is now, just as the decisions I make now, will impact my future. A new ministry is starting at FAC to cater to college age guys and girls and it looks like I will have a decent sized responsibility/position in this group. I'm really really looking forward to this task because I feel it's something I've been wanting to do for a while now. The reason I haven't done it yet though is because it's totally stepping outside of my comfort zone. It's one thing to be with high schoolers, it's a complete different ball game to work with people who are just a few years younger than me. I don't know if I'm ready. I can't say I feel unprepared, but I just don't feel ready. Does that make sense? It's like this. I'm prepared in the area of "life" and the area of "counseling", but I don't know if I'm ready for what God is going to throw my way outside of that. It's like I'm on my toes, before anything has happened. So what else is there for me to do except take the next step? I mean I totally feel like God is calling my name when it comes to this group Fuel, so what's to stress? I feel like I've been standing on the sidelines way too long, and it's time to jump in headfirst. Please pray for us as we prepare to have our first outreach meeting on May 18th at FAC. Please pray for Erik Vagen as he looks to start putting people in certain positions that he has the wisdom to pick those that God has appointed. Pray for me as I start to assemble a team who will greet/interact with those who are new to the church. Lastly, pray for those who are going to come out. Pray that our message will reach them in these years that are so key to the rest of their lives. Thank you to all those who will be taking part in this with us. I'll do my best to keep you up to date. Oh yeah, pray that God will provide me with a totally awesome digital SLR camera. Not really, but I'm trying to be patient about that purchase. Pray for patience. Yeah, that's what I meant to say.
