Response to Stuff Christians Like, #575 Refusing the gift of the Desert road. It is hard to say you are right on this. I have those thoughts about why I am not where I think i should be. I have walking down the desert road hopefully leading to ministry for 10 years. I'm not seeing anything at this time, But i still believe it will happen. I still know that is what I was created for. To provide others with the opportunity to meet,love, worship their creator. But it just will not happen now.
and that is when I think it needs to happen.. And don't get me started on comparing myself to other folks in the ministry. Oh buddy.. I see other friends in ministry, doing what they love, In the promise land, so to speak.. although that is a not a good name for the ministry. You have no promise of anything in the ministry. Everything everyone else strives for, Cashflow, insurance, Gas Guzzlers, 2.5 Kids. that is not the norm. Most folks i know in the ministry are broke, no insurance, way more kids than the average. Okay back to my original thought here.. Lets keep this on track. I have a friend who started a Ministry, Vapor Sports Ministry, it is one of the most well built, vision focused, moving and growing ministries i have seen. on top of being a good organization, he is doing Huge things for the Liberator, and he is meeting physical needs of entire communities. This is the type of ministry most pastors need to look to and pull his system. Not copy, but pull from. and yet here i sit. 27 years old, no "grown mans real job" because I keep looking for a way in. To start a ministry, lead a ministry, I have a hard time seeing myself working for another pastor. yep. This is my desert road, God has given it to me for such a time as this.
