The Size of the Task

I realized something yesterday. I was explaining to someone what I wanted to do in Ethiopia: develop a community health program in Langano. Help Ethiopian health care workers catch a vision for reaching their own villagers with holistic health care. Create a new model for health care that doesn't need lots of Westerners. Make a system that will spread itself, and take it to different parts of the country. I realized, whoa, this job is way, way too big for me. It is easy for me to think of all the reasons I am not equipped or right for the job: I am a labor nurse, never worked in community health, I am white, I draw attention, I need hot showers and Western food. And who says I know more about my faith than Ethiopian Christians living in the bush? I don't have enough experience, or knowledge, or the right degrees...

So, it must be the right job if it is too big. Why take a job that is a reasonable size? Is there no room for God to use me if I am willing to trust Him to help me? Didn't He lead to this point, exactly where I am standing right now? I am trusting Him and, strangely, I feel this job is just the right size.
