Warmup Mission

So I am not the adventurer as I would sometimes like to imagine. So I get stomach issues at the slightest mention of traveling to (or for) the unknown. So...

...I guess it was time to force the issue. I got a call today from the King. He sent a messenger whose name is Steve to ask if I would like to get my feet wet in simple missions. Honestly I have denied such offers in the past as it goes against my nature. The difference this time is substancial in that it was laid out in such a way that I would have been saying no out of stubborness instead of disinterest or fear. (Smart move Lord) I suppose to many it wouldn't even seem like "mission" work but to me and my fragile mindset this is a big step outside of my box. What is this wild and crazy mission I will be going on? Just a simple camp counselor for a week outside of Gettysburg. From what I hear it is a total of 32 kids from the ages of 12-16. It is a christian camp but the focus or at least overtone for the week will be technology and software. I am super excited right now as I think this is a wonderful opporotunity for me and in truth is right up my alley.

On one hand, I have no experiance (at all) with teaching kids software or managing groups of early teens. I do have some experiance teaching, teaching software, and managing people on a very small scale. So I am worried that I will be completely lost more often than not. I am the type of person who enjoys small groups of relatively mature people weather in lead roles or not. So I can't really imagine how this is going to go down. On the other hand, I am viewing this as a small, but effective, step in moving forward in this walk. I mean really, even if it goes badly I will walk away having learned a huge lesson and no I do not expect it to go more wrong than right. If things go even a little well I will be more apt to travel and undertake "real" missions later.

The funny part is all the subtlties that didn't happen before in offers to take part in such things. I mean the fact that it is conserning technical matters but still grounded in Christ. Also, the idea that this is a counseling position, in title if not in reality, which is what I have plans to achieve at school. One thing I do realize is that this is a setup from Him and I need to step up to bat finaly. So from 17-23 of July I will be AFK but will most likely have a ton to Blog when I return.

Did I mention I have no idea what I'm doing? O_o If it weren't for trust in Him to see this through I'd never do it.
