So this afternoon at 12:35, i felt a freedom unlike anything I had ever felt before. It felt like running out of school for a two month summer break or experiencing a nice day on the beach. I had in inhale it in...
breathe in... and out...and in and out...
I had just gone through one of the busiest weeks of my existence. Loads of church work, extra activities, you name it, I had to deal with it! I'm sure that many others could handle what I just ventured through without a care but we're all different and I'm a big baby =)
I spent a lot of this week immersed in the Word...it brings peace like nothing else in the world. God has a way of charming our fears and anxieties like no one else. I learned a lot about myself and the world around me during this week and focused on my tasks with renewed vigor and desire to make some kind of impact. Friday night went well. We didn't have a bunch of kids out but those who came I think enjoyed themselves and got something out of it...I never know for sure. Friday nights stretch me in the area of faithfulness. I have to BELIEVE that students take in the word and apply it to their lives. If not, I'd become a basket case =).
Saturday and Sunday had myself and the honorable Charles Yates take 15 minutes each to express the importance of going beyond our years and reaching out to each other. I think i did okay. We find our acceptance in Christ but there is still the part of you that says 'I don't know...maybe it could have been better.' But God's word was shared and that's all that counts. I'm doing in two years what some of my fellow young pastors are itching to do, be it lead worship, speak or be involved in the greater church. It's something I value deeply. I can only pray I remain faithful to His call and grow as he would want me.
This week is back to normal...focusing in on my family and my uth dem...
I like normal...maybe i needed to be shaken up a bit.
