Ordination and the call


Yesterday I went in for my ordination interview. I got suited up, studied up and went in for what I thought would be horrendous ordeal about deep theological issues. Instead, it was a great time of affirmation and encouragement. Somehow, the men in the room knew me, knew about me and saw great things in me. I left feeling very encouraged, humbled and responsible for so much.


I constantly remind myself that in ministry, I don't live for myself. I live for those I serve and lead. My interview solidified that. The call of God is so important to recognize but even more important to live out daily. I pray I never forget about the call.
By the way, that's not me in the picture...it's a representation of the posture of the heart...
