God's Will for this Year in School. . .

Hey guys!
Well, you guessed it! Osaka has another minor thing she would plead your prayers concerning. Here goes (Is copying this straight from a PM to Ashley. I hope you don't mind, Ash!!)
I have the feeling that there's something I'm suppose to do this year at school. I know, first of all, that there's someone(s) I'm suppose to befriend, but I think there might be something more I'm suppose to do. Due to a series of events, I wonder that it might a short Bible study of some sort. I've never considered myself a particularly gifted individual in the fields that such a responsibility would require, but a few days ago my mom said "Would you ever want to lead a girls Bible study with some of your friend?" I told her just what I told you, "I don't have those gifts." She then told me that she thought I had a lot of leadership skills.
After that, I had a conversation with one of the underclass men at school who mentioned that she was having a rough time with devotions. After she said that, I asked her, prefacing the question with "I haven't thoroughly prayed this one through yet-- but, if I lead a short Bible study during lunch hour, would you want to participate?" She was really excited at the prospect and said she definitely would. That evening, right before praying hard about, I went to do my evening devotion and I opened to the portion of John which I was next in line in my reading of that book to and read the passage about the harvest being plentiful but the harvesters being few.
So, I'm just wading through that one with God. I don't want to jump on this thing unless he's under me, but, if that's what he wants, I'm gonna go for it. If you could pray about that, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks a million, guys!
