Ministry Musing

I haven't blogged for awhile but it's a new year so you never know what might happen! This year will mark the beginning of my 3rd year as Senior Pastor. I can't believe the time has gone so fast. It hasn't been easy, there have been lots of little changes and some significant changes both in ministry and in my own life. However there have also been some great things happen as a result of change and there have been some belly laughs along the way. One of the things I've realised is the importance of remembering who God made me to be and why I was called to ministry. As you go through the day to day happenings of ministry and life in general it can be easy to lose focus on why you are doing what you're doing. Lots of people have expectations of you and opinions on how things should be. You can't let those voices be louder than God's voice. Of course, that's not just for people called to ministry,it's something to remember wherever God calls you. God has put you there for a reason and you need to be able to remember that reason. So I have nothing mind blowing to share but I prepare to begin my 3rd year happy knowing who God created me to be and reminded of the calling he has for me.
