The Joys of Ministry

There are some joys which come from doing ministry which people never really understand unless they experience them: the slow pace of a day that comes from watching a single mom's son on the week end his dad was supposed to have him, waking early and heading to a prayer meeting which men have been attending every Saturday morning for some thirty years.

The experience of small prayers instantly answered is continually putting me in awe of the God we serve, who is real and really interacts with us. It is awe inspiring and somewhat intimidating that God hears and answers.
