I’m Doing Very Well
Many have reached out wondering how I was doing. Therefore, I thought it was best I give this update. God has been in the process of rearranging a lot inside of me. I’ve had to go back to living with healthy boundaries so that I can actually be healthy. Anyone with my level of chronic pain issues knows every step you take matters.
I’m still taking an extensive break from social media. I’m presently taking a step back from anything that is not truly necessary in my life. With each day God is renewing my strength. With each day God is renewing my peace, joy and perspective. I’m not trying to be the Savior to anyone. I’m just striving to point people to His saving grace.
Being a pastor that genuinely loves people makes it hard to ignore all the needs that surround me. However, I’m striving to be healthy daily so that I can be around longer to impact more lives. Not only has my nerve pain greatly improved, but my walk with the Lord has been much improved. I can totally understand why Jesus had to often withdraw from the crowds to pray. I appreciate all of your prayers and I’m praying for you as well.
“Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:28-31)
