Over the course of the last year or so I have been uncertain as to whether or not to continue my journey as a Pastor of Children. Though I still love teaching, training volunteers, and writing, I am uncertain as to whether I will continue in direct ministry to children. After 15+ years of doing the work I admit that it feels slightly strange to me that I no longer have a passion for working with children in the capacity that I have in the past.
It seems strange to those who know me and it seems strange to me also. What is also odd to me is that when I talk with friends and colleagues and the topic of Kids Ministry comes up, I can talk for hours and do so with passion. So, in short, I am in a place of vocational confusion. During this phase of wondering and seeking God I am working on a Masters of Divinity Degree at a local seminary and waiting to see what happens.
In the meantime, as I contemplate whether or not to resurrect this blog or begin a new one that addresses topical subjects relevant for ministry to children, I welcome your prayers and suggestions. Feel free to join me on The Journey Deeper if you would like to continue keeping up with me. Thanks for reading.
