Today I started my new job, as Youth Pastor at Church! Ann and I have a month's handover time - before she leaves to have her ickle baby - bless!
It's cool for lots of reasons - but also because I knew from the age of 16/17 that I would be in full-time ministry one day. When people used to ask me that question 'what do you do?', I always used to reply with 'well, I work in insurance, but one day I believe I'll be in full-time ministry'.
I realised that over the years, I had stopped saying the last part, because although I believed that it would happen, I couldn't quite see how and when. It was only three weeks' ago - when I remembered this and thought 'hey, in three weeks' time, I'm going to be in full-time ministry!' Even though it's only for seven months, and I'm now 30 (not 17) - it's all part of God's plan - which is pretty awesome really!
So, if God's put something in your heart - trust Him with it! It may take a few years to come to fruition - but it's worth the wait!
Have a great week!
