Do you ever have moments where things really do seem to be in slow motion? Like those moments in the movies when the guy sees the girl of his dreams gently tuck her hair behind her ear or the father watches his children giggling in the front yard after a long day at work. I had one of those as I walked from the LeaderTreks office to my car tonight. I started thinking about the very first summer I spent with LT as an intern. There was so much question to what would happen over then next 10 weeks and I questioned if I had what it took to make it through. I had no idea what was coming. As I turned back towards the building the slow motion hit and I felt in the bottom of my stomach the same feeling I felt as an intern. The one that told me I was on the edge of something much larger than myself. The one that says the weight you're about to take on will grow you and make you fall more in love with your Savior in the most challenging life experience. The one that reminds me there is hope and peace to be found. The one that whispers stories of lives that are about to encounter the living God in ways they have never before.
This will be my third summer of trip and I still feel like I have no business being in the authority position I am. Everyday I am humbled to know that I have been entrusted with SO much. My feeble hands will help restore the Kingdom of God? Really? If God chooses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, then I am definitly a fool and ready to be foolish.
