How do you measure up?


As I was looking through the pictures I took of the kids this morning, I came across this one where Riley's measuring tape made it into the picture. It reminded me of how we concern ourselves with how we measure up....to our neighbors, to our friends, in our ministry. As the children's director of Crosspoint Church, I find myself pondering this all the time. I've never built a children's ministry before much less worked in children's ministry...teaching almost doesn't count because it's apples and oranges. I often think, someone else with more experience can do a better job than I could. But it doesn't matter who can do it better because God has placed ME in this position and His strength is perfected in my weakness. As Pastor Daniel blogged a few days ago, I can never be as good as someone else but I'm the best me that I can be.
Don't let the fear of not "measuring up" stop you from what God has called you to do. He will equip you for any task along the way if you take a leap of faith and answer His call.
