So time is like a bald cheetah. This I know is truth. It is both ugly and fast. Beginning November 14 I will embark on an endeavor which will forever change my life. I will begin preaching every Sunday. This means finding a sermon in my heart every week. To be honest, I have waited for this day a long, long, long time. I am truly excited about the task and at the same time terrified. I believe this to be a healthy tension which must always be held to some degree or another.
I wonder if the words will come each week. I wonder if God will continue to speak to me and through me. I wonder if my own spiritual journey will be strengthened. This new service- will it prosper? Is it a work blessed by God and one that will be indwelt with the Holy Spirit? How will people respond? Will it help heal our congregation? Will it generate synergy? how will people respond to my leadership? And the ultimate questions- Will it make a difference in people's lives? I hope so. We will certainly see soon enough.
So if I look a little strange or giddy, it is because I can't wait. Put me in coach I'm ready to play.
