10 Things I’ve Learned Since Becoming a Children’s Director – Number 5

I’m in over my head!

The first time I heard this and realized this the thought was overwhelming.  What have I done?  I don’t want to mess this up?  What am I going to do?  HELP!

When I finally got to HELP! a peace came over me.  That was the answer to all my questions.  My help comes from the Lord!  Realizing I’m in over my head shouldn’t be an overwhelming situation, it should be an exciting place to live.

If I’m not in over my head, then I am living in my own strength.  I am walking out my own path, living my own dream, accepting my own abilities as the limits of what my life can be.  When I begin to live life “in over my head” I begin to understand this isn’t about me, it’s about Him.  This is about me fulfilling the very purposes and plans He created me for.  If “I’m not in over my head” then I don’t need Him, and if I don’t need Him, then I have a problem.

Being in this place isn’t always easy, on the contrary, it is often scary and uncomfortable, but it now the only place I want to live.
