Spidy sense

If you are a Spiderman fan, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Spiderman has a super ability that he can "sense" danger right before it happens. This "Spidy Sense", as it's aptly called, has saved his neck once or twice.

God develops a sort of Spidy sense in His kids. It's not just for being aware of danger, but being aware of God's will. The Spidy sense is nothing short of hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit prompting us towards a particular direction or decision.

I had one of those moments this week. After paying a quick visit to the campus of my alma matter last week, I reconnected to a professor - Dr. Jay Paul -who oversees the Honors Program at Christopher Newport University, a program of which I was a part. Dr. Paul invested in me while I was a student, and his impact on my life will never be forgotten. The Program is moving towards an upgrade to an Honors College status. I've been asked to be a part of a group of people who will support the College via being a member of a group that will serve in some sort of advisory role. The details are being worked out with regard to our exact role and responsibilities to the College.

At first, I was a little guarded about this opportunity as it seems it may have the potential to distract me from my focus on Culpeper. But then my "Spidy Sense" started tingling. There's something to this opportunity that may end up tieing into my commitment to the community of Culpeper. I have no true idea of what this may end up looking like, but I've got that feeling the Lord will be using this somehow, someway. In any case it's a privelege to serve my alma matter in this capacity. I am certain the Lord uses every opportunity given to Him to accomplish His will. This is, at least, a chance for me to be His instrument at CNU.
