I have been wanting to start a blog for a long-long time. I'm not sure why I haven't. Maybe its because I write in other areas, websites and e-letters and that has kept me busy. But the idea of expressing some honest thoughts from where I am in life is far too intriguing to pass up.
Lately, I have been experiencing a mix of emotions, thoughts and feelings. God has been faithful in allowing a good "mix" of positive and, um, not so positive things go through my mind. I thank him for all of those things because even the ones that are unpleasant remind me of my dependence on him.
Like starting this blog, most of the things in my life were a long time in coming. Like answering a long-time call to ministry after 20 plus years. So here I am at 40 still completing a ministry degree from SAGU, still waiting on God for my first pastorate or ministry ( that will at least help me provide for my family of 6) and waiting on God to reveal his further plans and purposes for my life.
You know, it is often the best things in life that come after a long wait. Perhaps God is preparing me, molding me, and shaping the events that need to be in place in order for me to fulfill the destiny he has for me. Sure it's easy for me to say it, even though I believe it. Yet, if I'm completely honest here, I don't like to wait.
Maybe that's what God is waiting for.
