Don't Call It a Comeback!

Wow, It has been a while since I have posted anything in this blog. Well no time like the present to get back at it!

This may seem like, what some people have called my teaching style of late, rabbit trails. I have not written a post since I stepped down from my last youth ministry position. I may have been a little more preoccupied with things that have not been very important in the grand scheme of things, eternally speaking. However, we can get caught up in our own storms, desert journeys, or whatever you would like to call them. 

I have seen my absence from ministry as a sabbatical to family and myself. It has been a deep learning process that has taken me down several different roads. All to which culminate here tonight with one simple understanding. 

Why do we pursue the wind as if we will ever catch it? 

I am not saying that my entire time has been in vain; however, I could have used it a little more wisely. God has definitely opened my eyes and heart to the lack of assertiveness I have produced. The lack of production may have stemmed from the overly masculine pride to provide for my family in the means of a job and money. I know in my heart that God takes care of us. It is just a knee jerk reaction to produce that attitude to go out and work without thought of Gods plans. I spent so much time being a part of a company that was not in line with God's purpose that I miss several opportunities to fulfill His calling. Well, let’s just say that He (meaning God) has taken care of that and I am very pleased even thought the outcome is not what I would have hoped. 

I do believe that now is the time that God is about to reveal the bigger plan. I have been persistent to pursue all opportunities placed before me, but yet, to no avail. 

I will be more proactive in my journaling and writing again. I will be updating more often about the trials and teaching that have been afforded to me by the Holy Spirit. He has been the consistence in my life where I have been utterly absent. I praise God that He is faithful and that He never lets me forget the victory that Jesus won.

I pray that as I continue on this journey that I will not lose sight of the goal. I will remain eternally focused and keep my mind on heavenly things. There are many things here that God blesses us with but that is all futile when compared to the blessing of Heaven and spending eternity with Jesus.

So know you are blessed by the Most High God and praise Him.
