I don't like being sick

It is now the second week of living in Iowa, and I am sick for the second time. I am really hoping that this is not a trend for me. I am sure it won't be, but still. 

Stepping into the role if pastor I have felt that I am stepping I to what I have always been called to. The last two years have been long. We have felt in limbo not sure where we belong. Although the transition to a new place has its difficulties, and the church had its issues, I am confident this is whee we are supposed to be. 

Transformational leadership has been an incredible aid for this step in my life. Although I miss the old cohort, I am thankful to have taken a year off. God works all things to the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. 

What has given me the most anxiety has been Sunday morning messages. My greatest fear is to he irrelevant. Lord in pray you will help me to speak in such a way that people are drawn to you and you alone. I am thankful that my classes have aided me in content and direction. The cool thing is I am not doing it on purpose. God places in my heart the need to speak on identity. The last classes with Tony have spoken directly into this topic. God is good.
