Who am I?

"But Moses said to God, 'Who am I?'"
Exodus 3:11

God, in the burning bush had told Moses that the people of Israel will be freed from bondage in Egypt and Moses was the guy to do it. Moses had a couple concerns and wasn't sure he was the right man for the job. But instead of saying "No, I couldn't possibly..." Moses asked for clarification (like a good Spiritual Director!) Who am I to lead the people out of Egypt? It's a question we can all ask ourselves everyday (well, not the Egypt part, maybe). But, who am I, that I have this incredible life in a treehouse? Who am I, that I get to work with adorable five-year-olds, getting ready for Kindergarten? Who am I, that I have the life I am living? If God calls us to help with something, we may not feel entirely up to the task, but we can trust that God will help us with it, just like God helped Moses. We certainly may not feel called to such a huge task as Moses (think back to the movie, "The Ten Commandments!" Oy!) But our task may be no less important in God's eyes. Our task may be tying a shoe for someone who cannot tie their own or reading to someone who cannot read for themselves, or even smiling and holding the door open for a stranger. That's no parting of the Red Sea, but may be just what needs to happen in our environment today. God is calling to us each day to make the world better for someone else. Who are we? We are God's Beloved...and we can definitely do it, with God's help! Love, heidi
