Beloved of God

I’ve started looking into some volunteer opportunities in my area with the Department of Juvenile Justice. After learning about a few of the programs that they offer, I find myself being compelled to participate in some of the very things that scare me to death - speaking publicly being one of them.

A particular project that the director gave me to look over dealt with issues such as peer pressure and self-esteem which would be discussed at length with middle school students. Some other programs involve group sessions with families. For the fear that was and is in me, I don’t understand how a part of me believes I was made to do this. It’s like I’m beginning to find puzzle pieces to my purpose. Even while I was scanning the instructor’s manual for the program, I was answering questions that were yet to be asked. 

It’s getting late, and I’m sleepy. I’ll have to elaborate later.
