Lord, give me courage!

I'm terrified. Don't get me wrong, I am very excited about what I see God doing in my life and where He is leading me. Yet, at the same time it terrifies me.
Where is it that God is leading and what is it that scares me so much? I'm so glad you asked...
This summer both my job and my home-base will be changing. Yes, I will still be with Barnabas International and, yes, I will still be serving with Mu Kappa, but I will have a new job focus. Starting in July, I will begin building an in-house MK program which will serve the children of other Barnabas members, ages ranging from birth through college. This opportunity gives me such joy and is the culmination of the burden Jesus has put on my heart over the past 8 or 9 months. This job change will also involve a move to Colorado, also occurring this summer (probably Colorado Springs, due to lower rent, but anywhere between there and Denver is possible).
What is it about this that scares me? Well, it isn't so much the move (although moving so far away from my family, especially my older sister and her kids, will be difficult), as it is other circumstances surrounding it.
You see, over the past 2 months I have really felt God leading me to step out in faith with the finances He has provided and to trust Him entirely. On hearing this you may be tempted to think, "Wow, Melissa is so strong. I don't think I could do that..." but, please refrain. That is so far from the truth. I am taking these steps because I can't (and don't want to) turn away from where God is calling me (it resonates so much with who He has made me), but I am still human. I would much rather be going out with a full budget, knowing ahead of time where the funds will be coming from, but that isn't the current situation (my financial support level has actually dropped a bit in the past couple of months). I know from my own past experiences, though, that God can, and does, work miracles (ask me sometime about the part-time job I lived off of for 2 years). This knowledge doesn't erase the fear, though. Especially when a month comes with the "perfect storm" of car repairs (bent wheels rims), taxes (more than 1/7th of my annual income), and car insurance bills due.
All of this is temporary, though, and I know for certain that the LORD is in control and that HE knows what He is doing and how HE will provide.
Will you commit to praying for me in the following six months? So much is happening and I have so many big decisions to make, all the while having to wade through the goodbyes (that I dread) and trying to have good closure for both myself and those that I have worked closely with the past few years. If you are committing to pray, can you please drop me a note to tell me? I know that many of you already do, but it is so encouraging to know. 


In HIS love and care,
Melissa
