Wake UP!!! The Lord is calling you... Lose the stubborness...

So if you don't know me personally I will be blunt with you:
I am VERY stubborn!
Anyway now that I have set that out there for you I will start my blog :)
Well this deals with last night as well as my past experiences with the Lord calling me to do things for HIM! Last night at synergy I was praying about becoming part of the leadership team for the BSM. It is not like it is a hard decision to make, but I had to make it a hard decision. Why? I am stubborn and I will admit that. I just have a hard time fighting my battles with God and when to do something and when not to. If you read my last blog about how great is our GOD! you would read about another stubborn moment I had. Whether to speak up or not. I am the queen of excuses! So when it comes to the leadership team, I struggle in saying yes. I know I would be a great asset to the team and would love to, but I just am on the fence about it and can't make a decision. Always have my excuses..
Donnie (BSM director) issued a challenge to us last week. Become a servant... Well you know, I thought about it. BUT guess what that isn't good enough! I am so stubborn. I have an amazing opportunity to reach out to several students at my school and build them up, but do I do it? no... One of my close friends that I have made lately allowed me to open up to them. It is so much easier for me to fly across the world to Germany and Japan to share the gospel, but I struggle doing it at WAYLAND! What is going on? Once again I make excuses as to why I won't talk to this person or why I won't say things bother me and explain.
Another challenge offered to me this week... hello Haley you play on a volleyball team... open opportunity to start a ministry... here come the excuses. When is this going to stop? When am I going to just stop with the stubbornness and say yes to what the Lord is calling me to do? As much as I would like to say TODAY i will stop, I still find my excuses... Please be in prayer for me..
