Remembering...

So after months of waiting a passion has been renewed.  It has been hard.  After six months I am beginning to feel like I’m returning to some kind of normalcy.  Now please don’t take that as unchanged.  I’ve been changed; life will never look the same for me.  But I’m beginning to feel comfortable in who I am again.  I lost that for quite sometime.  

I have sent a few resumes to churches.  Long ago I felt the local body was my passion, my call.  I followed the master some other directions but they have led back to this place.  I’m searching.  I’m looking on job sites and talking to contacts.  I’m putting my name in the hat.  Not sure what I will or will qualify for, but doesn’t that old saying go something like, “God calls the available, not the equipped.”  He does the equipping and I have been equipped.  He is still preparing me.  I have not yet “arrived.”  But I’m still coming.  

Currently two options stand out.  One is in Nashville.  It is a plant and they are looking for a senior pastor.  This role has been my desire for years.  It is fun to pursue it again.  The other is in Atlanta.  It is doing missions work.  Both sound exciting.  Perhaps one is a fit.  I’m also looking into some other things.  But these two stand out.  

Confirmation has come in so many ways lately.  I led at a youth weekend.  It was such a blessing.  I taught some people about storying.  I did my first funeral.  So much has happened.  Some of them have been hard, but I have been reminded each time that this is the call on my life.  

A few continue to pop in here from time to time.  Join me in seeking the Father’s guidance.
