Let's give this a try.

I am an inner city missionary. I don't think I ever realized growing up that God wanted me in ministry. I can't quote the entire bible, I haven't prayed for every single day my entire life, I'm kinda rough around the edges and I don't always make the "right decisions" But at some point in my late teens the Lord convicted me that even though I'm not a "cookie cutter christian" he wanted ME. He chose ME and told ME that I am worthy to serve Him and help further His kingdom. So, here I am at the ripe age of 22 working at Cross & Crown Mission in downtown Oklahoma City. I would say at least once a day I think to myself, "Am I qualified to do this work?" And the answer is NO, every day is a challenge and I don't really EVER know the answers for pregnant teenagers, addicts, the homeless or gang bangers. But, I say to the Lord.

Use me here where I am.
I'm not gonna pray anymore that you'll change your plan.
Despite my fear I place my life in your hands.
The future can wait, tomorrow might be too late, Jesus use me here
