Late Night Musings Vol. 1

God has really been teaching me lately. About His Word as always, but specifically who He has created me to be and what He wants me to do. A few weeks ago I had a night where I couldn't sleep. Thoughts were rushing through me head like a whirlwind and I knew the only way I was going to get some rest was if I released those thoughts. Originally my plan was to blog them, but I backed out. I thought, "who will care about my ramblings about who God made me to be?" A few days ago I reconsidered and I started transcribing them into the computer. Why did I change my mind? I hope that this can be an example for you. I hope and pray that if you take the time to read these thoughts you may begin your own process of self-discovery and more accurately picture what God has planned for you. I also believe that as a pastor I need to be transparent and authentic. I feel that the better you know me as a person the more confidence you will have in my leadership. Take it or leave it, read it or not. I will be putting a piece of it up every couple days as it is quite long, so here we go...

I've read thru the "late night musings" you've posted so far. There is a song by Brandon Heath that during our vacation was played to many times to count. In the lyrics he sings, "There is hope for me yet
Because God won’t forget
All the plans he’s made for me
I have to wait and see
He’s not finished with me yet"

God has been working on me is several areas the last week and a half while I was on vacation. I've been struggling with alot of things yet this song has reminded me over and over that God can turn anything to His glory. Your blog has served to confirm this yet again. I look forward to reading more. Thank you for sharing.
