Kind of a contradiction, don’t you think?
From the time that I was accepted to the World Race until now, and especially over the last week, I have been reminded quite often that everything that is in my human, fleshly, being is unworthy of where God has called me.
I remember sitting in my room one morning about a month and a half ago, listening to worship music and just praising God. And then it hit me, brought me to my knees with tears streaming down my face, how honored I am to be where God has me! And I realized there is NOTHING that I have ever done that declares me worthy to be where I am, doing what I do, today.
If you don’t already know, I currently travel around country with a ministry called the Silver Ring Thing. We put on “concert style” events speaking to young people about waiting until marriage to have sex. Just last week we had 5 shows in a row, which may not sound like much but when you have a group of 12 people that do everything from driving, to setting up the show, speaking in the show, and tearing down the show, it adds up to some long 10+ hour days.
Over those 5 days we had the chance to speak to 1928 kids. Of those 1928 kids, 455 of them committed to wait until they were married to have sex and 324 of them gave their lives to Jesus! In the last two days alone we had the chance to share the same message with 1,693 students and another 270 of them gave their lives to Jesus!
That is a total of 594 lives added to the Kingdom!
And so now I sit here, in the middle of a lobby at a hotel in Tampa, FL, thinking to myself, why me? Why would God choose me to travel around the country, and soon the world, telling people about how good He is?!
My answer is simple, I don’t know.
But trust me, I am more than honored to be given the chance and I know that as long as I’m obedient, He will guide my steps and I will follow wherever He leads!
