the year almost...
it's almost been a year since my last post (again). Much has since changed. For one, i'm now married to my sweetheart Clydia. its been a great year looking back. seeing the Lord work in me a process of healing, a process of building.
my heart seems to have been enriched by the lessons from the past year. lessons of surrender, not of an unwilling heart but one that's yearning to surrender. i'm in a better position now because of those very lessons taught under the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus.
i was reading a book reccently by wayne cordeiro called "leading on empty", it's a great book by the way, and it basically talks about the journey wayne undertook from being in ministry to being burned out to finding that joy and purpose and satisfaction in serving once again. its funny how sometimes a book becomes a mirror, reflecting the light once again back into your life.
but through the book i've been taught once again the need to reorder my life. and though not explictly mentioned, to think in perspective of God's economy of time. that the impatient person in me needs to surrender to the timing of God's will. and as always, that's the better option.
being in ministry for the past four years has been a step of working out the kinks in preparation for whats the come. and boy am i excited about whats the come! be it in ministry or personal life. just about two weeks ago, i'm handed the news that i'm going to be a father soon! me... a dad!? i'm so joyful and yet so afraid! am i ready for this huge responsibility? ministry wise, we're going to start out a recording facility and i'm going to be a part of that. that's huge! a milestone if you would for my ministry.
"the Lord can if the Lord wills, we thank God that He did" the Lord has renewed something witin me. pray with me that this renewal will not stop
