The Moment I Knew

I had a major epiphany last night.

I've been wondering where my life is headed and how God can use me. Last week's sermon at church was about how God can use any of us right now just as we are. I kept thinking, "well that's nice but I don't know the first thing about leading someone to Christ. I'm still struggling with my own sin, how can I be good enough to lead someone else?" Then, through some other people, I was led to read the book "Multiply" by Francis Chan. In the introduction to the book, the author challenges the reader to embrace the fact that we'll never be good enough, blameless enough, clean enough to lead others like Jesus did...but that's okay. We can still further the kingdom despite our shortcomings. The author went on to explain how this book lays out exactly how to equip and prepare yourself to make disciples. I thought "this is exactly what I need in order to feel like I can lead others." Then I realized, God led me to this book and spoke through my pastor in those sermons because he wants me, right now, to be making disciples. I also think that was an answer to my prayer about whether it not I should go toEl Salvador. At this point, I think it's pretty clear I should be going. I think that moment last night will be one of those times I look back and say "that was the moment I knew..."
