Have you ever known you were supposed to do something, and either kept procrastinating--or, my personal favorite--continuing to say, "I'm not good enough?"

Yeah--me, too.

Have you ever had those things repeatedly back, and kept thinking, "Oh, its just a coincidence. Someone else was meant to do it."

Yeah--me, too.

And I'm finally stepping up and praying about something, and stepping into something I've tried to run from for years.

Roughly seven weeks ago, a few events happened. Some words got spoken. Basically, I was told that I'm not who God has created me to be. There's more truth in that than I'd like to admit. And looking back over my life, there were a lot of times I felt like I wasn't equipped or "wasn't called"...or, you know what, let's just put the real label on it--FEAR.

I was terrified of what it would look like to be a leader, of what I'd have to lay down or pick up to become a leader. Here's the thing about being a leader: When you're called to it, everyone around you who knows you knows it. Eventually, someone will call you out on it.

For me, it was a 16 year old I was talking to, telling her this wild story about how I was called to the World Race. I've known her since she was in 7th grade, she's one of the Young Life girls. Funny how Jesus uses people like that, huh?

I don't have much to say beyond this right now. I simply wanted to get it out there. This will probably be my shortest blog post ever. But here's what I'm going to end this one with:

What are you running from? Why are you running from it?
