I asked God to see through His eyes, so He made me a pastor.
I asked God to help me understand His grace, so He sent me addicts and alcoholics, and then he let me watch them relapse.
I asked God to help me love like He loves, so He sent me the homosexual who has been made an outcast by society….and even churches
I asked God to help me understand His patience, so He sent me the greedy who are more concerned with themselves than their neighbor
I asked God to help me understand His forgiveness, so He sent me parents of wayward children
I asked God to know His mercy, so He sent me the self-righteous
I asked God to understand His promises, so He sent me couples who are struggling in their marriage
I asked God to show me who I really am; He told me to simply open my eyes and look around me
The greatest pleasure of my life is to pastor New Passion Church and to serve as the manager of a local substance abuse program. Everyday I have the opportunity to share life with people who struggle to make it each day; they are messy, they are broken, and they definitely aren’t big on social graces….they are human. My daily experiences have shown me God in ways I would have never seen Him, doing anything else. The gospel is a beautiful and powerful message. I am grateful God has called me to pastor myself through many different people.
