Just this past Friday, I received the long awaited phone call for my acceptance into the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department. It has been a long road since turning in my application in July until now. I greatly thank everyone who has prayed long and hard for this position. I am very excited.
I will be honest, Satan is starting to play with my mind. I have wanted to be in law enforcement for over a decade, and when I worked with Vail PD, I felt alive. But now that I have been granted this awesome opportunity, I feel as though Satan is telling me I will fail. Some doubt just lingers in my soul about my capabilities. So I still ask for more prayer.
The other thing on my heart is Campus Crusade. I mentioned in my last post the role Crusade has placed in my life. When I got back from Thailand, I was approached by several well known regional directors within the Great Plains Region formally asking me to join staff. I respectfully declined as I need to fulfill this desire to work within the law enforcement community. Yet I still have this desire to serve Jesus through Crusade. Maybe I will work as a volunteer or as associate staff, but the parts I love most about Crusade are most easily available for full time staff.
I love the idea of traveling every summer to new and different locations around the world, leading college students on epic adventures, discovering who God designed and bent them to be. Having a full time job makes going on those adventures very hard. Yet at the same time, working in a dangerous environment, serving the general populous is exhilarating as well. I am just torn.
Am I making the right choice with JeffCo? Am I only not looking at Crusade because I don't want to raise support? Many questions lie ahead - some helpful, some deceitful.
