realizing the mission

Ever wonder how God works? I do, all the time. I look at my life and think I am finally at the place where God has been leading me to all this time. I am finally getting ready to serve Him wholeheartedly for a year of my life. It feels like my life has purpose for the first time in a long time. Yet then reality sets in. I have a lot of money I have to raise, and paperwork, and memorization, and I suddenly feel completely inadequate to do what He has called me to. I heard a quote from a Crusade staff leader when I was in Moscow last December and it has stuck with me ever since then.
"Until we see that we are called to do the impossible, we are completely inadequate to do it"
I feel like what He has called me to do is impossible... raise all this money, actually be able to show Russian students His love? Who am I kidding, I am not prepared to do this at all. Yet I realize that it is in my inadequacies that He is working. God can do the impossible, even reach students through me, if I just devote myself to Him and let Him work through me. I am called to do the impossible, there are 1.1 million students in Moscow, and I have to raise tens of thousands of dollars to do it, yet I know that because I know I am called to do the impossible, and am suddenly equipped to do it. Praise God.
