I am less than a month away from beginning my service to a new family of faith. I am filled with excitement and anticipation. God has given me a new sense of optimism and hope.
This new direction in my spiritual journey and calling has developed out of crisis and reflection. It is a direction revealed only after prayer, research, confirmation and having God open one door after another. I have no doubt God has opened this door and as such will bless me in ways I cannot even imagine as I make this change.
I begin this change not with a Pollyanna-ish perspective, but from a perspective enabled by years of experience, tempered and seasoned through storms and challenges. I understand the field of service will be one of testing and struggle. We do fight a spiritual fight. I understand I must prove myself as God validates what I do. I understand the expectations will be high. I also understand that the support structure I am entering and the theology I am embracing offers many, many more opportunities and possibilities than I have ever had before and I am so thankful to God for the illumination I am now following.
God is so good!
Rumor Control Center wants to know if you are going to the Valley to start churches to show The Frito Bandito how it is done. 🙂
I was considering becoming a insurance executive in order to salve my conscience.
