put me in Coach

Things can change in a moment. Love your wife. Love your kids. Love God. Love family. Love the people around you.

People are hurting all around you. I don't get paid to reach people...I get paid to help people reach people. But as a believer I have been commissioned to reach people no matter what I get paid to do. I have a list. A list that I have told the Lord no matter what he uses me to do in church, no matter how big the biggest group I ever preach to is, that if I can be used to reach these people, to help them, to minister to them, to love on them, to answer them, to direct them, to show them, to remind them, to clean up after them, to hang with them, to pursue them...if I can be used to reach these people, no matter what else happens in my life in ministry, I would see me life as an overwhelming success.

I think it's time. I have been sowing for years in two out of three of these. It may be time to check the soil. My burden has increased. My heart has increased. My thoughts are increasing. I want a shot. Not sure what to do but I want a shot.

The funny thing is how different this is from how I was in college. I wanted the shot cause I wanted the credit.

Now, I have such a burden for this person that I would do almost anything to see it happen. Don't care who gets the credit I just want to do what I can. I want to be used. I want to do my part and beg God to do his.

I need God to move. I need Him to do what only he can do. I need a miracle. Please Lord. Please. Do what you have to but protect. Allow it but assign help. Change everything. Take the pain. Take the junk. Take the excuses. Reveal the love. Reveal the help. Reveal the blessings. Rebuke the thief. Guard against the one who seeks to kill. Do not allow destruction. I know you're up to something. I know it. It is no coincidence. Use Holly and I. We love them. We care for them. Not nearly as much as you do.

Teach me something I can't learn from anyone else. Teach me something I couldn't get in college. Show me what I can do. Point me in the right direction. Don't let Holly and I get in the way. Do what you do best. Put me in Coach.
