I have come to believe that perfection is the enemy of ministry. Too often we wait for perfect circumstances, perfect tools or perfect talents not realizing that perfection never comes.
In Exodus 4:2 God asked Moses "What is that in your hand?" referring to Moses shepherd staff. That's hardly a tool to deliver a nation from slavery, but it is what he had in his hand when God commissioned him to the task. It is the also the very tool God used time and time again to work the miraculous.
God delights in using the odd, the unexpected and the weak to work his will. It's time to lose the excuses, grab whatever is handy, and go do what God wants done.
Use what you have. Leave the miracles to Him.
