Actually, most the time ministry has a felt a bit like this. It feels like I am in a car that is too small, that I cannot move unless I use my feet, and if I do move, I might hit the garage in front of me. If I actually go get some speed and get going, I am not going to last very long, because I was not made for this car, you see, my body does not actually fit in there.
That may be a bad description. Or perhaps a description that was thrown together because I like the picture. I think if I really spent some time processing, I would feel a lot like this 5 year old boy in a toy car. It doesn't fit, it should be fun, but it's just not. It ends up being a lot of work.
How wrong! God has given me gifts and I have turned them into burdens. He has given me desires and visions and I have turned them into lofty, unattainable dreams. I do crave big things, only things that I can accomplish on my own.
So on this day, Monday, August 23, 2010, on the first eve of a new school I am looking forward to what God is going to do. I will not keep Him in a box. This boy in the pictures fits better in this car than God does in my box that I have created for Him.
This year....I am excited. I AM EXCITED!!!!! I am excited. Folks, hey, you out out there. Did you know I am really excited? God has some great things planned for this year for ministry on campus, and the best part is.....despite my dirty, rotten, sinful, disobedient self, He wants to use me? How's that for a job description?
This year.....is going to be different.
It is about BREAKTHROUGH
