Cutting The Chord

Well I guess that you could say that on my last blog I de-railed a bit. I just let frustrations get the best of me. So I'm now gonna try to start a new leaf so to speak. I'm "cutting the chord" on some things in my life. I have allowed some things to hold me back...So now I'm starting a fresh new life. I've cut the chord from what people think about me, from fear, from past sins and anything else that has a negative effect in my life. I just want to totally surrender to God and let Him have control in my life I want Him to be the for-runner of all of my decisions. So my advise to anyone that might actually read these things is just to not be held down by anyones expectations and don't let anyone hold you back! Just cut the chord and Let Go and Let God use you in any way He may choose. Rest a sure...it will be a rockin ride!!!

Frustration....

I'm somewhat..well actually I'm really frustrated. I find it so frustrated because people in the church are so...well they just don't trust God to put it lightly. It seems that everyone goes to church to do their "churchly choir" and amens the preacher while when the rubber meets the road, they don't believe everything that the Bible says.
I felt the call into ministry. So I decided to presue that calling and attend Lee University. I went and I absolutely loved every second of it until I ran into some health issues that cause me to have to take a break. All the while I was receiving statements like "You really can't make a good living as a youth pastor" or "Money makes the world go round and you won't get it being a youth pastor" and my personal favorite "There is no security in the ministry, especially youth ministry."
All of these comments frustrated me to no end. Everybody carries their Bible to church and we've all read the God will supply all my needs scripture, but yet it seems everyone tries to make it on their own ability.
Now I have no problem with people who work hard and earn their livings. That is great and wonderful, but I get totally frustrated when so called "Christians" put doubt in the mind of people possibly wanting to presue the call into ministry. I thanks God for PW because he has had the single greatest impact on my life and I'm so glad that he presued the call into his ministry.
Well that was just me venting a lil bit.. lemme know what ya think!
Peace!
