I don't know why God has called me to do this.  For the life of me, I think He may have called the wrong person.  I'm in no position right now to teach is Word but for some reason, I think He has called me which scares me.  I struggled with doing this because I know unless God leads me, "my" plans won't succeed.  For this reason, I pray this is His Plan and not mine.   This is why it's taken me so long to start this blog.  I don't want to fail.  I don't want to walk a path God hasn't called me to walk but for some reason, I can't talk myself out of this one.  I have been reading "The Story" which is a "continuing story of God and His people."  Throughout reading this book, I have felt God's leading to start an online "blogging" bible study corresponding to this book.  I doubted and doubted that I heard God right but the more I read to book, the stronger this calling gets.  I'm scared.  Terrified may be a better word.  Like I said before, I don't know why a God in His right mind would call me...sinner of all sinners...to do such a thing.  However, I can't deny that calling.  I called my mom asking that she pray for me as I contemplate doing this.  I knew I was called to teach way back when, but hearing my mom's confirming words made it all the more real.  I still don't know why.  In my eyes, I am a nobody with struggles I can't seem to overcome, but in His eyes, I am someone who is willing to be used.   Maybe it's for these very reasons He has called me.  Join me on the journey of "The Story" and let's take a deeper walk into God's Word.
