Decision making and stuff

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've been on here :P I feel bad that I haven't been as regular at Haven as I'd like to :/ I should be writing my paper right now, but it feels like a huge monster right now, and I'm not ready to conquer it. Plus there's something I need to get let out and prayed for. Here it goes.
As I think most of you know, I LOVE ministry. Pulse has seriously changed my life. Every time I serve I get so much joy and energy. The problem with me is I have a hard time saying no :/ I used to think saying no to people is easy. But when it's about something you really want to do, it's a whole other story. Like I know I have no time at all, but I'll commit to doing this ministry thing anyways :P "Somehow God will make it work". When that happens, sleep usually becomes a luxury.

So for the past year I have been working closely with Robby on ministry stuff, specifically UIC. Like the UIC retreat, Porn Nation etc... Robby is probably the most amazing student leaders I have ever met. Robby is graduating at the end of Fall 09'. I kind of saw it coming, but basically now UIC people are looking at me to take over as UIC coordinator. When I first started working with Robby last spring I was super excited about it, and I kinda had in mind that I would take over. I was totally fine with it. Now they have unofficially asked me to "take over". Now I'm kinda freaking out. I would love to do it, but man... That thing is a MONSTER! It is HUGE! This will probably be one of the biggest decisions I have taken ever. I'm really scared to do a crappy job. Robby has set really High expectations. I'm not Robby, and I'm not trying to be, but there's going to be a lot expected out of me if I make the decision to go for it. Please pray for me! I don't know when they really need to know. I'm hoping not until fall semester. The thing is I'm the only other dude that has the passion for it, or has even worked close enough with robby to do this. I don't even know if they have a second pick!

If i decide to go for it, it means I will be a lot less available when UIC stuff comes up. Someone told me that he heard some people already saying I was going to be the next UIC coordinator (even though I haven't said yes) and that I was going to be quitting Pulse. If you hear that, please tell that person to SHUT UP! That would be like disowning my own family. There is no way I am stepping out of Pulse, and Core. I love you guys too much. (except eric)

Please pray for me, that I would be at peace with this decision. That God would open and close doors for me and make it clear of what I need to do. If I do accept, I'll have a ton of other prayer request for you guys :)

  2. Yah, I don't love Eric either. He's too stuck up on Desmond... *grrrrr*

    I'll be praying for you, Tim. Just remember that God doesn't want you to burn out. He wants you to thrive in what you do best and with the people who always encourage you to do your best.

    Pulse will always be there for you. After all, we all view you as "Mr. Pulse" lol

    UIC or Pulse, you will shine for Him and that's all that really matters.
