Edge Corp
Summit number one is complete but the fun has only just begun!
Because I
had to ask several times today what day it is, it’s hard to believe all that
has happened in the last two weeks.
I graduated college, took a road trip to Colorado and had a life-changing
week at my first Edge Corps Summit Training.
Oh boy has
God rocked my little world in the last couple of weeks. I had major doubts that I was meant to
be at Summit with over 70 new Edge Corps staff.
(P.S. I am going to mention now that this is the largest staff The Navigators has had yet! …yeah so cool).
(P.S. I am going to mention now that this is the largest staff The Navigators has had yet! …yeah so cool).
(A couple of
key themes that ran thought my head):
-I haven’t walked with the Lord that long, why do they want me here?
-I have not
thought, talked or prayed like many of them.
-I have a
hard time communicating, period.
-I am not ready like they are.
-Maybe this is too far outside my comfort zone.
Talk about a
major panic attack and the biggest urge to run, run far far away.
Oh but God
is good and more than patient. He
wasn’t about to let me go running
(except up the sides of a couple mountain trails during free time),
but He did walk me through many of my fears.

I was meant
to be there. And He blessed
me. From the Bible studies,
seminars on trusting God and prayer, to the amazing friends and coaches who
encouraged and listened to me all week, God has prepped me for the next step He
wants me to take.
Believe me, I
am still more than scared (accompanied by a pair of sweaty palms), but this
isn’t about me. I may be the only
Bible someone may ever know. How
can I deny someone the opportunity just to hear about what Jesus has done for
me and what He has and can do for them?
Have I not
commanded you? Be strong and courageous.
Do no be terrified; do not be
discouraged, for the Lord
your God will be with you wherever you go”
Joshua 1:9
…but all
your fighting men, fully armed,
must cross over ahead of your brothers.
You are
to help your brothers until the Lord gives them rest,
as he has done for you,and until they too have
taken possession of the land that the
Lord your God is
giving them. –Joshua 1: 14b-15a
Hey, Nana here.... Just thought I'd see if my post goes through for you. I read your posts every time one comes through, and I agree with your mom that it keeps us up to date on what you are doing.

Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHey Casey :) Just wanted to let you know, I experienced a lot of those same doubts at my first Summit... and God has taught me SO MUCH from the absolute need I had to trust that He specifically wanted ME to be used in this ministry. And I'm sure you've heard this before, but sometimes (usually all the time) that inadequacy makes the victories that much sweeter, because we know that it was purely our Lord who caused the good things :) Praying MUCH for you beautiful ladies!
