It's About Time...

About 4 years have past since my last post... thinking about shutting down the blog... however, even the few posts are interesting to reflect through... so even if this is just for me, I'm going to keep throwing something out here on occasion.

Been reading a lot lately about God's calling, God's will and seeking to understand the best way to pursue these desires no matter where I'm working or living. Colossians 3:23 comes to mind...

Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men...

After spending so many years helping others pursue God's will for their life in and through their secular occupations, I've been living it out myself for these past few years - I can say honestly - it is not easy at all. A consistent walk - always in control of emotions, always thinking of others to insure the conversation is seasoned with 'salt' - always looking for God 'appointments' - it is immensely more difficult to live outside the walls of the church than it is inside of the walls of the church (vocational ministry).

I am very blessed to continue to have an effective ministry in churches of a whole host of shapes and sizes on the weekends (www.simpleworship.net)... but the one thing i wrestle with is whether God wants me to pastor again... At this point, I'm rusty... but if God desires me to move in that direction again - I am fully willing. For now though - he has me where he wants me it seems. Pastoring comes through husbandry, fathering, coaching...

Good to jot these "notes" down.... even if I'm the only one who will ever read them...
