Some people say leadership is hard and challenging, but I've found leading the WCW task force risky. I've found it especially risky because I feel like God has gently, yet firmly, placed his hand on my life pressing things down and allowing more and more sin to be revealed which I often feel like is then clearly displayed for the world to see (yes, I know that's a bit self-centered).
Yes, I know there's definitely that concept that people probably pay less attention to what I perceive as a big deal, but there's also an acute awareness on my part that my sin will impact how I lead and interact with others around me, and those deep sins within, the ones I'm not even fully aware of, could come out and hurt someone else.
The risk for me is being aware of this - being aware of the pain I may cause others, the ways I may mess up and fail, the way things may fall apart - yet fully and totally trusting God that he has put me in this place for a reason and that he can use and redeem even my brokenness and failure. He is bigger and he chooses to use us, sinful people. It honestly seems more of a risk on God's part then mine. I guess that again emphasizes God's greatness, and the privilege it is to be used by him to advance his kingdom.
May the risks never outweigh the truth that our God is bigger.
