Five Minute Friday: Dive

I am about to take a dive head first into a role I wasn't sure was going to happen. There are no final details but I could be in charge of ladies. A couple ladies through a Bible Study. As the leader. This diving is not something I think I really felt fully prepared for last semester yet here I am sitting smack dab at the door ready to walk through.

God knew what he was doing leading me here and I know he will lead me through it and give me the words to help guide these ladies, but I am nervous. Last night at our leaders meeting our women's partor mentions that being nervous meant that we had to be fully really on God to walk us through. That is exactly where I am at.

Leading ladies older than me. Remembering to send out emails. Defusing rabbit trails during discussions or hard life situations that are going to be mentioned. Am I really equipped for this. I feel so young and inadequate to do this. I have people who have argued this saying I am not but I don't feel equipped.

I am very thankful though that God equips those called and doesn't call the equipped. I hope there is a lot of equipping being done in the next 2 weeks. I could start the semester as an apprentice still or if we reach max number of ladies signed up for the study myself and my new apprentice could be leading our own table. for the first time ever.

Equip me God because I am nervous to do this that you have called me to do. I can only do this with you and not of my own strength. Give me the words Lord and the heart for the ladies you set at my table.

I'm linking up with Five Minute Friday, a wonderful group of bloggers meeting up to write on the same topic for  5 minutes flat. No editing, no over thinking, no bactracking. Won't you join in?
