Never Too Young

"Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."

But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.

Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth.
Jeremiah 1:6-9

It's interesting staffing a school with students older and more "experienced" than I am. I'm learning about God's anointing and that it doesn't matter how old or how much experience we have if God has called us to a position of leadership. He has placed the anointing and taken us through preparation for this exact time. It is definitely a process to learn this lesson. It becomes hard to not be discouraged being the youngest person involved with the school with the least amount of years in mission work. How exciting to know that God is preparing me in this area and that it will be something He uses in the future. There's definitely hope at the end of this little tunnel here.
