I realize I have been gone for a while from the the blogging world. I have been dealing with my internet addiction, more on that later, and my change in priorities. I have always believed that blogging was a powerful tool but I have not been sure for what for a very long time. I have wanted to write many things over the course of the past few months but have not found the energy to put fingers to keyboard. I hope this is the beginning of new era of blogging for me. What’s changed? I have.
God has been asking me a question over the past few months that have some very strong implications. His question is this. “James, will you make a difference?” This is very different from when I ask myself the same question. When I ask it I am really asking myself if anything I am doing will matter in the end. But what God has been asking is, will you do something that mattters?
This is so hard because I believe planting a church and patoring in my community is something that matters and it does. What I am coming to realize is that God is asking me to do something more. Not instead of, just more. God is asking me to lead a cause, a movement.
In some ways I’m terrified. In others I am extremely excited. I am going to start slow and over the next few posts share what led me to at least some of my conclusions.
That sounds fascinating. Now I’m intrigued…I’m interested to hear more about what you’ve been going through.
Thanks Jared, I only hope I can do justice to what I am feeling inside me.
