It is now less than three weeks until my Ultimate Mission trip and multiple emotions have been running through me these past couple of weeks. Nervousness, fear, and excitement. Positive feelings and nerve wrecking feelings have been clashing within me. Preparation has been in full motion for me. Spiritually, I have been more God focused. Not to say that I'm usually not when not preparing for something big like this, but the impact of focus is definitely greater. Physically, I've been exercising daily. Running, weight training, and floor exercises are part of my daily routine. I've been eating healthier and I feel better. Less meat and more vegetables have been a key. Mentally, I'm not going to lie, it's been tough lately. "Will I be ready?" is the main question that is puzzling my mind. I just have to remember to stay focused on God and listen to Him in guiding me to do His will and He will not lead me astray. But like I said, that part has been tough.
At church, leading the youth has been helping me greatly prepare for pastoring this summer for the Ultimate Workout. I don't want to say that they are my group of guinea pigs, but they are; in the sense that I have been testing topics and activities I plan to use this summer with them. God has packed my summer ahead full of exciting and interesting opportunities that I plan to utilize to the fullest, each and every one to help me grow in every aspect of life possible.
I thank God for giving me these many skills, talents, and opportunities and it is my prayer that they will mold me into someone that can use them to glorify the Lord and carry out His words...
