What a much better week I have experienced this week! Why? Cause God said so, that's why. You see, God led Dr. Chang to postpone any chemo until after Easter. She is a brilliant doctor who looks and listens to her patients. She realizes that these last treatments have been tough on my body. This little break has given me some positive energy.
Funny thing is, the Capital Disrict D.S. Jon the Methodist, has been doing a lot of talking about how we Christians ought to be doing more listening before we start programming. Put another way, we should listen to the needs of those to whom we are ministering before we begin ministering. This is quite a task for a pastor at times. Some folks don't know what they need. Some folks know, but they don't know how to express it. Then there are those folks who know what they need, and yet are not willing to do what it takes to help with the problem. For example; GC is offering a dynamic web based marriage enrichment workshop this weekend. A few hours tonight and a few hours tomorrow is all it requires. We made it clear that the church would provide scholarships for those who need it.
As pastor, I can personally tell you that The Family Life Center should have been "standing room only." Let me just say - it wasn't.
Do you need help in your personal life? Jesus will always be there.
