What do I have to say?

I was just reading some of my friends blogs and thinking, "What, if anything, of importance do I have to say?" I mean with every Tom, Dick and Harry out there posting onto a blog, what do I have to say that could add one thing of value to any discussion. My friends are much better writers than me, and they are much more open to God than me (at least I feel that way sometimes). What can I say that will make a difference? I don't know if anything I write will make a difference, but I know that God uses each of us in different ways. He takes our strengths and uses them, he helps us grow and develop our weaknesses, so they are not so troubling.

I guess in some small measure my lack of confidence today stems from the fact that yesterday was my last day in my place of ministry. Today I am a man without a position and without a church. It's in these times that you can feel like you have failed and accomplished very little. I know that is what the devil wants me to believe. But I know that I have made an impact, and I know that God will use my work, because I feel like I have served in his name, to bring glory to himself. So anyway I will continue to add my thoughts from time to time, along with all the other Tom, Dick and Harry's out there.

Where to now?

Where is the Lord leading us now? As I think about this question and talk to others about what God is doing in my life, I can't help but see the look in their eyes. They wonder how I can just trust that everything will be ok. How do I know that my family and I will be taken care of? How do I know that God will open a door and provide a new ministry position for me? And more importantly, how can I say that I will go where ever God opens the door?

I guess it comes from the trust that I have developed over the past few years. God has taken care of me in the past and I know he will in the future.
