Am I ready Lord?

Yesterday, Ed and a few others that are in the inner circle at Onething were discussing what it would take to start a "church". After much, much deliberation we decided that concerning the five-fold ministry we were missing some key parts. I have for over a year now felt called to be a pastor in some form. Whether I am ready to take on such a role has proven I am still in training. Its hard to show people you care about them when your communication skills are lacking. God has given me a great heart for people, now if only I knew how to use my lips to communicate that. I have had more and more oportunities to just listen to people and give insight as to what I believe and how such things have helped me. Yesterday, is a perfect example... I hung out with a friend and we had a discussion on parenting (neither of us are parents) and developing growth in a child. In that I know that most of my words and opinions are grounded in the Word. Did I share that with him? No. I am still lacking a boldness in my faith to proclaim this is why I believe and think the way I do. Granted, it's no secret that I am a christian but I would rather give proof to my claims then just let that be the background thought. If i had quoted a book about parenting from some expert, I would have shown some true knowledge as to why I thought what I thought but until then it is just an opinion. I want to represent the Word of God the best I can and the only way to do that is to present it as fact. The Truth. God give me boldness to use the word of God as textbook and an expert study of all life.
