A new job
Tomorrow I start a new job. It kinda feels like the first day of school - I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and now it's here and I wonder if I'm ready...
Not just physically ready - like what if I forget my cell phone or what if I'm not dressed appropriately or what if I show up at the wrong place or time - but spiritually and emotionally ready. I've been in school most of my life, and I like school. There, someone tells you what to write about or think about or read about. I'm really good at following directions. Even in my job at the hospital I had a supervisor to tell me how to deal with my patients or what to say to myself when I was stressed. Now, I'm going to be on my own. I will have colleagues, of course, but they have their own case load to carry. Who is going to tell me what to say?
"Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Who makes a person's mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord?
Now go.
I will be with you as you speak and will help you in what you say." (Exodus 4:11-12)
God has called me to this work, and has equipped me for it, so I suppose I'm not really on my own. There is One who goes with me who cares even more for these children than I.
I believe, Lord; help me in my unbelief.

What an attitude! So talented, so dedicated, so wonderful and yet so humble... looking and leaning on the One who made you. God will use you in mighty ways you can never imagine. He has to be smiling with great pride as He continues to open doors for your ministry and sees your reaction. God bless.
