I still remember my prayer during graduation in seminary that God would indeed bless the work of my hands. I would definitely testify that He has blessed me with so much these 8 eights serving Him as a fulltime pastor. I saw all things went well, everything done according to His will. Actually, I am quite fulfilled with what I have contributed to His ministry through this years of ministry. But still, it seems God is calling me to do more. I am fulfilled and at the same time dissatisfied with what I have done for the Lord. I have used my gifts fully for His glory, but I still know that I can do more and He demands more from me because of the blessings I have been receiving. These are evidences of His presence in my life and so I am blessed.
So what next? As time flies, I just wanted to serve God but it seems many opportunities are lost because of red tapes and uncooperative co-workers. The question on the needed awakening is at the door? How do we really awaken a sleeping giant like my church? Eight long years of service and still the giant remains asleep. Many things has been done, but she continue to sleep. It seems it is so difficult to balance things to be a pastor of a church and effectively serve God. It seems both are always in conflict.
