God's Help...Have you ever felt pushed out of your comfort zone-like the Lord was speaking to you, calling you higher upward to His Holy calling of being like Himself? That's the way I felt today in church. I think about me, myself, and I-almost exclusively. I hate to admit it, and I am not at all proud of it, but it's true. I am selfish, and do not put myself out there for others nearly as much as I could--or do what I could at the time I could do it for my fellow man; even for family and friends.But today the Lord asked me to take a tremendous leap of faith, and go on a missions trip with my church, or perhaps Campus Crusade for Christ, at some point next year. It will really test my limits, and my faith, and take me out of my comfort zone, into the realm of genuine service and ministry, something that Christ exemplified every day!! I am happy, nervous, exctited, impatient, and terrified, all at the same time.Whoever is reading this, if you would like to, would you pray for me? I want to do this for the right reason, and be able to look back on this experience in the years to come, with happy pride in what the Lord accomplished in and through me. I know that my growth as a Christian, will begin with me boasting in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me"-as the apostle Paul did. I want a renewed mind, and a changed heart for the Jesus' sake, and for His kingdom.
