Ok, it is finally time that I updated my blog, what do you think? I find that this is one of the most difficult things that I have to do. Forcing one’s self to write is a difficult task and is not for the faint of heart. I am currently unemployed and so you would figure that I have plenty of time to do all of the things that my heart desires, only writing is not one of them. My biggest desire is to find a way to support my family. I have been looking to secular employment and it leaves a sour feeling in my stomach just to think about working outside of the church, and so perhaps that’s God given, or perhaps, I am working for the wrong reason and not for the glory of God. Yet my heart’s desire is to minister full time, to have nothing else on my plate but ministry. Yes, I am a husband and a father and no, I cannot forsake those roles in my life, but for the past ten years, I have had to divide my time between, husband, father, employee, student, and ministry within the church. Just to cut one of those out would be nice. It would also be nice to be able to directly apply my education to what I am doing 24/7. Oh I long for that day.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, my ordination is coming up in about a week and a half, I am supposed to preach that morning, be questioned that afternoon and then, Lord-willing ordained into the ministry. This is going to be a day that takes everything out of me and so if you find the time and remember to do so, please pray for me. I am extremely excited about this time in my life and cannot wait (though I’m going too) for what God has planned for me in ministry. I will write more on this later (hopefully sooner though), but God is really teaching me several lessons in this time of my life and it is amazing to see his blessing and watch care over my family and me.
