God is GOOD

I could never see myself as a leader. I'm not much of a public speaker because I'm terribly shy and when I get nervous, I stutter. It's just not for me. I've always thought this way for awhile... it was always easy to just be the follower.

But God never intended for me to live in mediocrity.
I'm meant for so much more.
And today, God opened my eyes.

There was this seminar at my school that was led by people who also go to the church I started attending 2 months ago. It was the first of five called LifeBox. I knew it was a leadership training seminar but I still wanted to attend because the leaders were from my church. And I wanted to be involved since I'm not settled in a small group just yet.

(gonna back track a bit)
In the beginning of the school year, we had to select class officers. When it came to nominating our class treasurer, I hear a voice calling my name. A classmate and some others wanted ME to be the treasurer! what? Their reason for voting for me was that I'm "good at math."

So, I'm class treasurer for our nursing class!
how does this relate to my LifeBox story?

It turns out, only the class officers from all years are the ones to attend.
and would you look at that... I'm a class officer!

I'm glad I came. I learned so much even though there were things that were already to my knowledge. And not only that... wow. me? a leader? Like I said, I don't really see myself as one. But when I think about it some more, I've been a leader in my own way. I led worship back home in the states. I've led others to be a good example. Even just the little things. And God just told me today that I will need to rise up... and that it's time to change. I can already see God moving in my life. I'm drawn near to Him and I'm getting deeper into His word... just getting to know Him better than I ever had before. I thank the Lord for placing certain people in my life, even those who may not be of a good influence. They still play a role in my life that's molding me to be a better person, a better servant for Christ.

This is fire will never go out.
I can be sure of that.
