Stepping Out

I have been finding myself stepping out and doing things for God that I never thought I would do. I have really learned that it's all about faith and trusting in God. That's what it's all about in a relationship with God. Of course continous consecration (Prayer, fasting and reading of the word of God). I just started the Life group. I was hesitating in starting it because I didn't think I could do it. I never really saw myself as a leader. I'm just being honest right now and letting you guys in to know how I think and really am. So, Monday was the first Life group meeting and it was great. I loved it and can't wait for the next one. I'm really pumped up now in tag teaching the Life group with Oli....lots...haha...clean. I just taught the class on Wednesday too. I never saw myself teaching a class. I was pretty nervous that day and thought to myself.....I can't really back out now because I already said yes to Eddie. To be honest I got pretty scared because I'm trying new things. But how would I ever find out if I never tried it....right? The old Jacob always tries to come back. The old Jacob is that guy who you never saw speak up and step out of the ordinary. The guy who never really did anything for God. The guy who always waited for someone to lead him or push him to do something for God. I was confused for a while in who I was (Like everybody else when they hit my age). But I found myself in God. God has shown me how he sees me, and it's crazy...unbelievable. Even when I didn't know what was my purpose......God already had a purpose for me. How he sees me is something that I would of never saw in myself. I understand why God made me the way I am. God is so great. He's so perfect and knows what he is doing. All this time I was stopping myself from growing. Sometimes not forgiving myself would be what would stop me. I knew God forgave my sins but I still din't believe it. I couldn't understand how God's love could be so great. How he could love someone like me. How he could even listen to me when I pray. God has revealed his love to me. I now really understand it and can live in his freedom. I encourage you guys to start stepping out in whatever you feel God has called you to do. I'm going to do it. Yes it's scary and uncomfortable but God is with you. START STEPPING OUT....you're not alone.....I'm right beside you. Let's do it.....Change This World.
