Ok, then I was reading this leadership blog and today they were talking about praying for your pastors. I will admit I like that and could have prayer bathed over me more often. Regardless, here is a quote, I kid you not about leadership and Joy:
"Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you... " Hebrews 13: 17
Most of the time ministry is a sheer JOY, but there are times that burdens become extremely strong and overwhelming...
JOY-JOY-JOY!

Hi all,
As I began my day, I found myself thinking "oh joy, another day of deprivation" referring the the fasting component of this experience. This thought then got me to thinking about God's will and our will. How somehow, surrendering one's own will feels like depriving oneself. I need to remind myself that less is not always less.... less can be more. I need to focus on the gifts of God and those of the Holy Spirit rather than trying to compartmentalize God according to my world and my will.
thanks for listening,
Charlene
