"Who am I?" - Moses

 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” 12 He said, “I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you that it is I who sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God on this mountain.” Exodus 3:11-12 (NRSV)

Moses is a story that I have always liked. In my childhood at bed time my little brother and I would listen to my dad read stories from the little children bible. You know the one, the selected stories with drawn pictures telling the story in a understanding way for the young age.  We could pick the story for him to read to us. 

Even at that young age, Moses, has been a calling to me. I would request every night to listen to the story of the baby in the basket. The faith that Moses' mother had by keeping him hidden and placing him in the blanket. As if she knew he was going to do something great. That God had a PLAN for him to do. A higher PURPOSE to serve his kingdom and his people.

For the last year I have been trying to figure out my purpose or what I want to do. Its a search for God's PLAN for me. 

This blog is my own way to share thoughts and discovers that I have made of God's PLAN for me. 


I feel some days that Moses is a kinder spirit of my mine. He was worried about what he could offer in the rescue of the Israelites. Moses wasn't a leader by choice but a leader by his calling. I worry about a lot of things in my life. I have a fear of public speaking like Moses did but because of the story of Moses I know that God is going to use me through my fears and my doubts. 


So...Who am I, God?
