It's funny to me how people can perceive things about you simply because of your title. Yes, I am a pastor. But does that make me any different than the next person? Not really! I have responsibilities and requirements associated with being a pastor, but in reality I'm just like everybody else :) I have struggles and battles. I need strength and courage. My faith and trust in God can constantly stretched. Just like you, not every day is off the charts or something to talk about. However, we have a God who is with us, hears our prayers and moves on our behalf. This is what helps us make it through the day sometimes. This is what gives us strength to walk the path He asks us to walk. This is our source of hope for today and tomorrow. I always enjoy someone's reaction when I'm asked if there's anything they can pray for me about. And as I give them several things, they seem taken back by the fact that in no way am I perfect or have everything under control (too funny...) I'll be the first to admit I'm not perfect and that most things are out of my control and I'm always having to trust the Lord. The thing I'm thankful for is a God who loves me and cares about me. It makes ALL the difference in my life :)
