thanks for sharing your heart and mind. i too am encouraged by you writing to get away. as a matter of fact… i think i will find snow and a fire and quit time.

i am trying to get unstuck and it scares me to quit a perfectly good pastorate and take a leap into Jesus arms. prayer and time with the Lord is essential.

my problem is i don’t have enough time to walk with others on their journey with the Lord.
i too need to think about my core values and bedrock beliefs. i want to rediscover my passion for Kingdom work.

Starting this ministry "thing" at 17 was for me a call that I followed with a lot of people clapping but no one leading. I was helping a pastor who needed more help that I, yet was willing to let me hang around him in this church starting stuff. I was enthralled and exhausted all the time...it became my new normal. I got used to the whirlwind and even was nice enough to bring a wife and three kids along with me. Then I woke up and discovered that I wished I had men like you to journey with who were honest about their need for rest and practical enough to say you have to get the "spade work" done if you want to get personal with your sermons especially if you have to wade through appointments, demands, staff, visitation needs, and God forbid if your children are singing, playing soccer, or if you wife simply needs you for the evening or a weekend. I find fellowship in your words. It takes guts to be honest but it allows you to fly better! Thanks for allowing me to walk with you.
