Overwhelmed

My how things can change in a month.

It is so exciting to see God bring something to fruition. Last summer changed my life. The Lord used it to being me to a point of accepting His plan for me. He had been tugging on my heart for about a year, maybe more, about ministry and missions. I left Glorieta last year knowing what God wanted me to do. A part of that was to apply to be a staffer at FUGE. To work in M-Fuge and serve alongside students in New Mexico in a variety of different ministries. Teach them about the Bible. I applied. I went to the interview. And then I waited. And waited. Last month I still hadn't heard anything. I figured it was a long shot anyway because I haven't had as much experience as many of the other staffers I have heard about. A little confused, because I knew what I was supposed to do last summer, I decided to march on with my summer and remove my name from the FUGE applicant list.

Then I got the phone call. They wanted to hire me for the exact position I applied for, for the exact camp I wanted to work with. Overwhelmed. And so so excited.

Have you ever just stopped and questioned the Lord. Which I know sounds crazy. But really, have you had those moments where you ask Him, "Are you sure? Are you sure you want me?" That's where I was. I feel so inexperienced when looking at my fellow staffers and yet there is not one piece of me that feels like I am not supposed to be right here. At this exact point in my life. Doing exactly this.

Such peace comes with submitting to His will. And even when I question Him, He lets me. And continues to give me His peace. Overwhelmed.
