I am a conductor!

Today as a sat in this leadership training tears actually came to my eyes when I heard the speaker say, you have to be a generalist with a specialty - be a conductor.

OK so you may think that tears are extreme but I felt a since of relief and fear. Relief that there has been validation to what I believe God has already been telling and showing me and fear because having to let go of the familiar in order to embrace the unfamiliar.

Webster defines a conductor as the following:
: one that conducts: as a : guide b : a collector of fares in a public conveyance c : the leader of a musical ensemble d (1) : a material or object that permits an electric current to flow easily — compare insulator, semiconductor (2) : a material capable of transmitting another form of energy (as heat or sound)

Two ideas resonate with me when I read this definition. The fact that as a conductor I am a guider and a vessel that is used to transmit something. God uses us as His vessels (conductors) to conduct (a) others into a relationship with Him through sharing the Gospel.

So today is the day that I embrace the fact that I am a conductor!!!!
