Keep Walking

I feel like I’ll never be in a place where I’ll be “done” or “ready” to serve. I feel like there's often this perception that you need to have it all together to lead - that simply cannot be the case, though, or nothing would get done. Ever. 

I don't have it all together, I never will. Wow, what a relief to actually admit that. The ironic thing is I let myself slip into believing that there are people who do have it all together. This may partly be a southern thing I'm experiencing more strongly now, but I feel that when I admit that I don't have it all together or when I speak frankly about a sin or a struggle that people will shy away from me.

I just need to be ready and willing to serve where I am, how I am, and continue to be honest about who I am (this includes the truth of who I am in Christ). I need the courage to continue to walk forward and the faith to keep walking. I need to continue to keep in front of me that God uses broken people, and that it's truly not about me - not my glory or fame - but it's about God's glory and spreading that throughout the world. Even through a broken sinner like myself.
