Preparation for the Future

Yesterday our Regional Minister, Don Shelton, spoke at our church on the topic: "Are You Ready?" He took as his text Joshua 3:7-17. He meditated on the wilderness wanderings and the passing of the generation that new slavery. We were asked the question about our own wanderings and how they might prepare us for the future. The Hebrews, he suggested, weren't ready to enter the land until that point. Are we ready to enter the land we're called to inhabit?

Life is full of fits and starts, ups and downs. We have our good days, but have many days that aren't so good. But we learn from them and we grow from these experiences. My previous pastorate was a difficult one, especially near the end. But in many ways those experiences helped mold the person I am today. I'm a much different person and pastor than I was in that previous congregation. I guess I've come to the fullness of time!
