It's been a long time and I'm sure most of you didn't even realize it and for the rest of you, well I'll just say we didn't know each other yet ;)
Yet hear I am back on this site that probably no one will read (because lets be honest, I'm wondering if I'll even have the time to write in this... let alone expect someone to actually read it.)
But that is just it, do we actually take the time anymore. Do we have the patience. Before, when I first started writing in this 10 years ago, I did it because.. well I was writing for the church news letter and I had the energy of a 26 year old; what changed?
Ministry did
Life did
I did
God called/directed me to a new ministry. While I tried to keep up relationships with people from the previous church, it also meant getting to know everyone at a larger church. With larger churches comes more programs, more people, more responsibilities... you get the idea. Thank goodness God revealed a special woman to help me along that journey a few years ago.
But now we come back to this. What will this look like? I don't know yet, but 6 years is long enough I think. I used to enjoy writing about ministry, and I still do I think, but it's taken a back burner and it now I think takes more if a discipline rather than the "off the cuff writings" I used to be. I've changed the heading from "Brent's Random mind" to "Ponderings" What God places on us isn't Random, it comes for a reason, but I think I was just to "ministry naïve" to realize it at that time.
It's less about what I want to say, and more about what I think God needs me to say.
so stay tuned (if you made it this far) Lets see what happens.
