I Wanted To Throw Up
I felt the color drain from my face, the warmth of my body vanished. I shifted in my seat trying to settle the sudden uncomfortableness. My mind began to race with doubt, thoughts of unworthiness, thoughts of my mistakes, thoughts of rejection. When my campus director finished with the details of sharing our faith with the Greensboro Community, I wanted to throw up.
Yeah I was a leader of Cru on my campus, yeah I shared my faith in Sweden, but yeah I still wanted to throw up. So I did the best thing I could think of, grabbed the most spiritually mature friend that I knew, to tag along with.
Off we went, KGP in hand to each doorstep asking for can goods for the local food drive but with the real intention to share Christ’s Love to each resident.
My step of faith that year was just to ring the doorbell.
I have to admit, that I did not pray at all on what I should do. Thankfully, God led me to take that step of faith.
God has never let me forget that step of faith and also to pray for my next step. I have been praying about that day during Encounter where I will feel itching under my own skin, and maybe perhaps you will to.
Pray, ask that God will lead to take a step of faith. (a step further then you would be willing to take by yourself) Pray, ask for Christ to speak through you, to give you the words. Pray, ask for God to go before you and prepare his way for you.
Okay, so maybe you aren’t that throw-up prone student but you might be the “the most spiritually mature friend” that they know. So be that friend that they can tag along with and be encouraged to take that step of faith. Take your step and then another by helping others.
Instead of regretting this day, I am now looking forward to it, thanks to Christ.
Always thanks to Christ.
