I repented this morning

For the first time I realized that about 15 years ago I said something that I should not have said.

After 25 years of pastoring I resigned from the pastoral ministry. My bishop asked what I was going to do. I said: "I am going to get a REAL job and pray for pastors". He responded: "Dear God they need it".

As I was praying this morning I realized I need to repent for using the term; "Real Job".

Pastoring is without a doubt a "REAL Job". When I started pastoring my pastor said; "pastoring is not just a job, it is a calling". "Calling", no doubt, but is more than a "calling" it is a job. A tough job, one that requires tough skin. Not hard labor but mental labor.

I still love, respect and pray for pastors.

My main goal for 2016, other than drawing closer to the Lord is to get back into the pastoral ministry.

I yearn to pastor again. That is my gift, my calling and I miss it much more that I ever thought I would.

I rest my case by saying: "Pastoring is a tough job".
