I have to confess: I have been reflecting on my ministry and I recognize very little growth, spiritual or otherwise. Doing a self examination can be a painful but growing journey. Asking ourself questions like, Why do I do what I do? What should I do that I don’t do? What is the largest barrier to the ministry?
Often these questions begin to illustrate either too much “I”, lack of vision, lack of focus etc. After 8 years in the ministry it is apparent to me that too much “I” and not enough God was my sin. Pride comes before a fall. Now that the fall is at its bottom, the emphasis is back on regaining the initial energy of the past.
I will be using this blog more for personal reflection and getting input from the readers. We will discuss some of the hard issues surrounding our faith practice while encouraging everyone to seek the “Father’s Embrace”.
