To any reader of this thing, it’s been clear that I’ve been in the crapper for a few weeks. I’m just feeling overwhelmed lately by all that has to be done as well as the reality that the church I work at is failing to see that they are failing.
Along with this has been some temptation. I’ve had more than a few hints dropped by churches in our area and in other states. The reality is that I’m not interested.
It is again worth stating why I want to stay in Romeo. Romeo is a great community. Romeo is a land of opportunity. Romeo has welcomed us. Romeo uses our talents. Romeo pays us fairly and without question. Romeo doesn’t micromanage my ministry. On and on and on.
A mentality I face all the time in sharing my frustrations and even discouragement with friends is the assumption that being disappointed or frustrated somehow equals that I am leaving. It just ain’t so. I see that in every position their are mountains and valleys. Even the best jobs have bad times.
In the midst of all of this self-examination, outside sources have been encouraging. I’ve received phone calls, e-mails, and letters that have kept me on fire lately.
