I was created for this.....

My job has a tendency to be stressful at times. This year in particular. It seems this year that every aspect of the ministry that I oversee are completely unrelated. This pulls me in many directions. Then on top of that each area has been rather high stress this year. I won't go in to details, but let's say it's been enough to make even the calmest person a little on edge at moments.

I realized after just two weeks back in school and being crazy stressed already that something had to change. Mainly my attitude or way of dealing with things. Then it hit me. I was made for this.

See I fully believe that I am right where God wants me at this point in my life. I believe that the gifts and talents that are inside of me were placed there by God to be used for His Kingdom and glory. I believe that He won't place more on me than I am capable of handling.

Psalm 139 says: "For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place." It also says "All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."

As I look at those words and think about where I am right now, I realize, I was made for this. I was made in my mother's womb and equipped with the things that I would need to do the things that God has for me to do. Therefore if I am where God wants me to be, then I was created for this.

Bring on the stress. Bring on the emotionally hard days. Bring on the logistical and organizational nightmares. Bring it all on. Every last bit of it because I was created for this!!!

Until then......
