Today I officially accepted the role of Children's Ministry leader for a church plant starting in March. This means some major changes for me. First I have to switch a practicum to this new church, while at the same time telling my mentor/youth leader about the move. I have confrontation, especially if someone has a chance of getting hurt. (Lord, help me get through all of this with the support of Shawn, and even the church. I am following you.) I don't want him to think that it was anything that he did, or that I have any bad feelings towards him. I love Shawn and will always consider him my mentor. He has played such a HUGE role in my life. I know he'll understand that God is moving, but it still hurts me; no matter how excited I am for this opportunity. Honestly I even tried to ignore the fact that God was even moving in this direction for the good part of the month. But then last week God convicted me, like He usually has to do. The conviction was so bold that I almost skipped my last class of the day and chapel just in order to make the phone call to meet with the pastor. (Humbly I submit myself to you, oh LORD.) What this decision looks like in the context of my future, and upcoming marriage, is still unknown. I can say this with confidence though, if God says "do this" or "move here", who am I to say no? Is a mere man able to stand up to God (YHWH) and demand his own way?
"Submit to God and be at peace in Him" Job 22:21
