Feeling Small and A Little Scared

Today I started my new job! I am feeling a little overwhelmed from all the new information about my job duties and responsibilities. I am not sure where to find the resources I need to fulfill my job functions. AHHHHH! Don't run away, Don't run away. I know that God put me in this job for a reason and He will not fail to prepare me for what I need to do. I have been assured by my co-workers, and my wife, that it might take 3 months to feel "not so lost", and in about a year, I should feel comfortable with the job. The feelings I have right now remind me of a song I heard last night while watching an episode of Animaniacs with my family. The song is called "Yakko's Universe". Here are the lyrics:

Everybody lives on a street in a city

Or a village or a town for what it's worth.

And they're all inside a country which is part of a continent

That sits upon a planet known as Earth.

And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains

Which is out there spinning silently in space.

And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals

And also the entire human race.

It's a great big universe...And we're all really puny

We're just tiny little specks...About the size of Mickey Rooney.

It's big and black and inky...And we are small and dinky

It's a big universe and we're not.

And we're part of a vast interplanetary system

Stretching seven hundred billion miles long.

With nine planets and a sun; we think the Earth's the only one

That has life on it, although we could be wrong.

Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids

Including meteors and Halley's Comet too.

And there's over fifty moons floating out there like balloons

In a panoramic trillion-mile view.

And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars

In a galaxy we call the Milky Way.

It's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other

And still that's just a fraction of the way.

'Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the sky

Filled with constellations, planets, moons and stars.

And still the universe extends to a place that never ends

Which is maybe just inside a little jar!

It's a great big universe...And we're all really puny

We're just tiny little specks...About the size of Mickey Rooney.

Though we don't know how it got here...We're an important part here.

It's a big universe and it's ours!

It's funny sometimes how a kid's show can remind us big folks, just how small we are. We should never get "to big for our britches" and think we are more important than what we are. Although Yakko claims "we don't know how it got here" in the song, I know exactly where the Universe came from. It was created by GOD! And even though we are "about the size of Mickey Rooney" in comparison to the entire universe. God the Creator still cares for little old me. So don't be afraid to be afraid, and tell God that you are scared. He will comfort you. After all we are His children!
