Realization of my call....

This week I have been realizing more about who I am in Christ and where I am called than I have for a long time. I am not called to be a pastor. I am called to join hearts and denomination in students. I am called to help them grow and realize their own value to Christ and to love them and support them. I am called to show up and encourage them in their own relationship with God so they can experience who He is! I am not perfect. I am not all-knowing. I am nothing more than a child of God that shows up and loves teenagers when given the opportunity! In the past 6 months I have seen 17 of my students stand up in front of hundreds of people and commit their lives to Jesus! Did I personally lead them in a prayer to make that commitment? No, I didn't. But I did show up and give them the opportunity to attend things that if I hadnt showed up I dont know that they would have gone. Thank you Jesus for allowing me the opportunity to love these kids and have a small role in watching them come to know you. I am a little emotional about it, but completely humbled and blessed by it. I think I am called to be a facilitator... i dont know. but i will continue!
