God brought to my attention this morning that my leading the P squad may not only be about me having an amazing squad with two co-squad leaders that fit so well together!
God is all about redeeming our time. As I have been here in the Dominican Republic I am constantly reminded of my first month on the race. I had been raised up to be a team leader, but I took that position with reluctance. I struggled with fear, self reliance, people pleasing and striving to do everything well, amongst other things. I was being shaped and developed into a person who hears God’s voice and obeys, but I didn’t trust myself to hear him right.
Throughout the year God constantly put me into situations where I had to trust him. There really was no other option. Guess what! He came through every time! I learned that there is no reason to fear because he is always in control; he is the only one I need to please and I can do that by just being with him and having an intimate relationship with him.
I have now been raised into a higher level of authority as a squad leader. This time around I have not taken the position with reluctance. Though I know that this position is not to be taken lightly, I will have some really hard decisions to make and problems will occur, but I can take it with full confidence. My confidence does not come from my ability, but from knowing that God is in control. He has orchestrated this beautiful master piece. God has sent me back to the Dominican Republic and Haiti to redeem that time when I was resistant. Praise the Lord!
