Scared of Growing Up
Wow, I've done it again. Not blogged for a long period of time while a lot has been going on. I'll blame it on the holidays, being at home and "preparing for the next phase", as I like to call it. I went back a read my last post and was actually surprised at how scared I was of joining a residential program. I must have gotten caught up in the fear of growing up and moving on. I did the same thing my senior year of high school: I considered joining the army because I didn't feel ready to go to college.
But college was where I needed to be and I was more ready than I thought. And now, I am more ready than I thought for a residential program. I know this type of work is where I am called. Running away from it for "personal reasons" is not right. God has made me for this type of work and it is there that He can and will grow and use me. There is nothing to be afraid of. I don't need to be scared of growing up and moving on. Especially when He has proven to be faithful when I follow Him.
I realized that a few weeks ago when I decided to accept an offer with New Horizons Youth Ministries. This is the same ministry I was with for the summer of 2007. But this time, I am headed back to their campus in the Dominican Republic! I am excited, a little nervous, and a little overwhelmed with packing right now.
But mainly excited about growing up!
