So, I preached for the second time as a pastoral intern. Sunday was great. The worship team were great. God was GREAT. It was amazing and I loved it. However, I was SO tired afterwards, took a 2 hour nap, felt sick yesterday and am still tired today. How's that for being a pastor? How can I slow down but still do a good job? I am supposed to take a day off every week but the past 2 weeks have been so busy with preparation for Sunday with all the usual other stuff during the week which is really good stuff, but still takes time and energy. I really love it though, being a pastor, and it is so good to know that I do not have to study for finals and papers which are due in 2 weeks time. I am SO glad that I do not have to stress about that!
Today is Tuesday and we are into the week of thanksgiving. This will be my third thanksgiving holiday in the USA.I really love this holiday; no gifts, just good time being with friends and giving thanks for all that we have. So much has happened this year and it is hard to believe that 2008 is nearly over and we are looking forward to 09. How did that happen?? There is still much to do before the year is out. I have already been in Bend for 4 months with another 6 to go. So much to learn and experience. I am so thankful that God brought me to this particular place at this particular time. He knew exactly with how much I could cope and still continues to teach me and challenge me to other experiences. It is awesome.
