I feel like a Bible Dictionary. Probably...more like the Cliff's Notes version, but a source for Bible facts and data none the less. But that is not what I am supposed to be doing. I am supposed to teach, no, scratch that, I'm supposed to show people how to live. My teaching should be an overflow of my heart, and my time with God.
I feel like an 'Ambulance Chaser'- No offence any friend I might have who is an AC. My flock - like most - think my highest calling is to know who is sick, who is in what hospital, and to be there before anyone else. I love my church family, and want to be there when they are hurting, but I can't seem to make it happen. My pastoral care should be the overflow of my heart, and my time with God.
I feel like a CEO. I really struggle with being the Administrator of a religious organization. Instead, I want to be a part of a living organism. A Body. The Body. All I can say about this is, I may not be the best, but I could be a whole lot worse. Anyway - my administration should be from the overflow of my heart, and my time with God.
So...if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go spend some time with God.
