Out Of My Comfort Zone

Since my work situation is about to change it has made me think alot about what I am going to do in my spare time and what I would like to start doing. There was one thing that kept coming into my mind and it links in so well with what I want to aim for through ACM and the internship. I prayed alot about it and spoke to the people I needed to and it just seems to be something that I should do. I've decided to step out of my comfort zone and become a leader at IGNITE.

Why is it stepping out of my comfort zone? For a few reasons:

1. I'm going to be looked up to by younger girls.
2. I may be approached with questions that I may not have a clue how to answer.
3. I will, at some stage, have my own group to take care of and disciple (which is what I do want to do)
4. I will have more responsibility than I have ever had before and it involves other people as well not just myself so my actions will affect them.

They are my main four reasons, but when I think about being a leader at IGNITE I get really excited about it and I can't wait till the first week back! I know that I will be faced with challenges because there is so much for me to learn that God wants to teach me and I know that through him I can get through. I'm so excited about all these possibilities that have been placed before me and I want to do the best that I can to glorify God.

I will have started my new job this time next week, which is another scary thing. It's going to be a big change and a struggle at first with finances and such, but it will also give me alot more time to devote to God and getting to know him and also helping others. I'm planning on helping out in Special Ed with mum when I'm not at work untill my ACM classes start so I'm not just sitting at home being bored watching mind-numbing tv or browsing the internet. I'm hoping that when I'm helping at school I can start to develope relationships with girls that I will someday disciple!

Oh, something fantastic I found out at the leaders meeting last week; a girl that I had been praying would be saved got saved! I had been praying for a few weeks for Chaynel. I met her at the Shave for a Cure thing that was on and she is exactly like me when I was her age and I felt instantly drawn to her. When I found out that she wasn't a Christian yet I started praying that through her friends or something she would make that descision and she has now! I'm so excited for her and praise God that he worked in her life!
