A few days ago we had some changes in our team structure. Part of it affected whether I would remain the leader for Team 61 or not. All along I’ve felt inadequate leading our team. I’ve had many opportunities with leadership before, but nothing like this. Any of the members on my team would be excellent candidates for this position. When I thought about not being our leader, at first I was relieved because it wouldn’t be as much of a struggle for me to follow. I wouldn’t have to pray as much or be responsible.

I soon realized that’s not what I want at all! My hearts desire is to live a great adventure of love and faith through Jesus Christ. I want to grow, I want to stretch, I want to rely on the Lord completely. It would be easy and boring to take the safe route, but I’m stepping out into the adventure. It’s going to be hard and painful at times, but I want to live fully! This opportunity to lead my team is beyond my control.

Today I can tell you that I’m confidant that this is the role I am to play this year and I can’t wait to see what the Lord will do.
