Inadequate
Sometimes I wonder what the heck I am doing? I'm not qualified. For a lot of things.
VBS co-chair? are you kidding me? when I signed up for it last year, I had been to ONE VBS and all I did was take pictures. I know what kids like because I have one, thank goodness you can buy those little books and information so they tell you what to do... and from there... you can be creative.
I am speaking at a Prayer Service in August, I did it last year. I worked on it for 2 weeks. I never did it before, the people that go to my church, they are well versed in the bible, like I am going to teach them something. Yeah, right. But I give it my best shot. I liked it but I feel a little overwhelmed. I am always afraid no one will show up, it will be just me and God (and that's ok too).
Now, going to "lead" a bible study. Oh yeah, did I mention that I never did that before? Oh yeah, that should be interesting, I will have to study a lot so I don't look like a fool and don't embarrass God (or Beth Jones - it's her bible study).
I often feel inadequate. I think there is no way I can do it, and if I do, people will think I am an idiot or think "this time she really did something she wasn't prepared to do" but looking back on Sara's post the other day, being unprepared isn't an option. I will pray, listen, and execute. God will make sure I have what I need. I am in adequate, I am bruised and broken, but thankfully God can pick up my pieces and put me back together, and use me.
All things are possible with God. Matthew 19:26
