The Call

I've been going to the same church since I started 8th grade and since then I was going to Youth Group. I am now a college graduate and still going to the meetings. I think when you know what your heart wants and what your soul longs for you're going to go after it. Before my mind was made up to look for a new church, one of the leaders approached me. He asked me if I was interested in leading the group we had named 'Legacy.' My answer was quick: NO. My mind ran with thoughts of excuses I could give. We left it at, "if you ever need my help, I am more than willing." How do you lead a group of teenagers. I was there once and it was rough. Am I qualified? Will they learn from me? Will I lead them astray? Will they be hungry and starve? These thoughts of insecurity filled my mind. Days, weeks, passed until I had a sit-down with a lady from church. I really admire and look up to her so I always take what she says with sincerity. She asked me what was holding me back. She said she was confident in the impact I'd have on the kids. God spoke and led me to finally be obedient. More days went and I met with the leader. I asked him if the offer still stood. He said yes then I said yes. 

It's funny how God works in so many different ways. He works through us even if we don't want to listen to Him.
