For those of you that aren't really in the know, I have felt God has called me to lead the University fellowship at my home church. I am really excited and pumped, and I can see that people desire change. I love the people in my fellowship, they are so awesome and talented and truly blessed by God. Keep me in your prayers, as I try to allow God to work in me more than I have ever before.
To tell the truth, I have never felt so much fear in my life. There is the responsibility of leading other brothers and sisters in Christ, vision casting, and stepping out before everyone else. It is frightening, because this matters to me. I can feel the Holy Spirit tugging at my heart, prodding me relentlessly about Zoe. And God is faithful. He answers all my prayers, despite being so weak and so hesitant.
God spoke to me today. He promised me struggles. He has called me to work in Zoe much like Nehemiah was called to re-build the wall of Jerusalem. And Nehemiah faced hardships, the enemies of Israel mocking them, the noble class Jews oppressing their fellow brethren, and always the constant threat of their enemies launching an attack while they were in the building process. I know there will be tests ahead, I know there will be trials. I pray that He gives me the resolve to stand firm. I pray that I rely not on my strength, but His alone.
