Yeah, when I was starting to get into the Lead Minister game I thought I knew a bunch of different things. Turns out, that I was write. I know a bunch of stuff. I don’t know everything, but I know a bunch of stuff about ministry and leading people to Jesus. I mean, it pretty much comes with the territory. If you have been in ministry for 14+ years like me, you pick up certain knowledge and can function pretty well in ministry.
One thing that I didn’t realize is that I need God much more than I thought I would. I mean, I never thought that my relationship with Him was sewn up not needing more filling, but I also kinda thought that I would be able to skirt through with the same amount of effort that I was already putting into my relationship with God.
I could not have been more wrong.
The biggest surprise to me so far is how much I actually need God on a regular basis. I mean, I rely on God more now than I ever have in my entire life. Diving into His word, praying, and seeking guidance are huge parts of my daily ritual now.
I thought that I was close enough to God, but I realized pretty quickly that I wasn’t.
Now, I focus and choose to open my heart up fully to Him.
It is freeing.
It is filling.
It is educational.
It is loving.
It is awesome.
God, thank you for showing up in my life.
Thanks for sharing, Wayne.
I enjoy your candor.
I’m hoping to hear from you again soon.
Keep blogging!
