Who am I?

So I've been wanting to write about this for awhile, but I didn't want to tell people before ACF officially announced it.

For those of you who don't know I was nominated for head trustee for next year.

For most people I think this wouldn't seem like a big deal. The trustees are pretty mysterious. Always hanging out in the back and quietly taking care of business. I doubt that very many people who aren't on leadership, trustee helpers, former trustees, or living with two of the six trustees could name them all.

But let's take a look at the past three head trustees:

C-Will
Kenny
Keith

All awesome leaders, manly men of God, and complete stud muffins. And to be completely honest I felt almost intimidated because of the shoes I have to fill. I kinda felt like Moses when God asked him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

Who am I?

I was really surprised when Keith called me and told me about the nomination. I can easily name several people who would probably do a better job than me. So why me?

Who am I to lead these people?

I've always had a hard time understanding how other people see me. Especially when they talk about the potential I have. That's probably because most of the things I remember and think about myself have to do with me screwing up. It's sad. I've seen how God has changed me and worked in my life, but I also know I have a long way to go.

As I thought more about what it would mean to "replace" Keith as head trustee God reminded me of a lot of things, especially about how we are to act. I was reminded that I don't have to worry about trying to be like Keith or Kenny or C-Will, but we're all called to be like Jesus. OK so it's not exactly easy to be like Jesus, but I take comfort in the fact that I don't have to compare myself and how I handle my responsibilities to anyone else. I know I've said some of this before, but it's really meant a lot to me recently.

I'm excited to see what God has in store for me and all of Penn State. He's going to do things that you wouldn't believe even if you were told.

Because of his grace and for his glory.
