Hello again…I know I haven’t posted in over a week. I know I could go through all the excuses, I’ve been busy…my dog ate my homework. But in the end that is what they would be, excuses. I have found myself in a terrible ‘funk’ over the last few weeks. I have found it a struggle to pray, to read my Bible, to be a follower of Jesus. This might sound surprising or even ‘shocking’ to some. But in reality we all experience ups and downs in our walk with Christ, pastors are no different. Tonight I came home from school and I was reading articles on the Christianity Today website and I went to the Leadership Journal and came across this article “Full-Time Pastor but only Part-Time Follower of Jesus”, by Craig Groeschel. The article touched my heart because I have felt this way over the last few weeks and I can’t stand it. I find myself getting better at playing the part of Pastor and not being a full time follower of Christ first.
So I hope you’ll read the article and try and remember to pray for your pastor. Remember pastors across our country and around the world, who week after week look to serve God’s people. I don’t want to be a part time follower of Christ. I want to be a full time follower; this is my prayer for you also.
