I have been so busy the last few days. I find myself racing around and constantly thinking about what I need to do. It is in these moments I feel like I’m being tested. I’m being tested on my resolve to seek God daily. Over the last week I feel God walking with me all the time. Right now I can feel His presence in ways I have not felt in a long time.
I am so grateful for this because I feel I need Him the most right now. Tomorrow is Marie’s funeral and I have barely had time to think about what I am going to say. I actually look forward to seeing a lot of old familiar faces from Northside Baptist. The people at Northside Baptist are some of the most amazing people I have ever known.
Leaving Northside and watching the old church close its doors was one of the hardest things I have had to do. It’s a story I will have to share on the site someday. Bottom line I wouldn’t be a pastor without Northside and its people. FBC Rocklin has been so gracious to Sharon and Me, it has been overwhelming. At times I feel as if I could never live up to the thier expectations.
How do you pastor people? When you look at all that is involved and how you affect lives in profound ways…it scares me to death. I know I can never do it on my own. It can only be done through the spirit. So tonight I am asking for your prayers. Pray for me as I oversee the funeral for one of God’s children. Pray for me and all the other pastors who everyday face the challenge of pastoring God’s people.
