Yes, it is always easier to see this from the other side; learning to see it from the front side, however, seems like part of what ministry leadership should be about-- do you agree?Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01204385954996143021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620005.post-1116107305715938082005-05-14T16:48:00.000-05:002005-05-14T16:48:00.000-05:00Ed:For me, it was discouraging to have such a stro...Ed:<BR/>For me, it was discouraging to have such a strong sense of calling, but then to struggle with finding a placement. I did not doubt my calling, but rather it was more with the disappoint of graduation and going to live with my in-laws for a time (whom I love dearly). It is not how I had envisioned things, but I rarely envision things the way God does. And that is where we should find ourselves even in our disappointment, at throne of God. I was also reminded by a friend that God was much more interested in what He would do in me, than through me. Finally, on the other side of placement for over a year now, I have no doubt that God's will is right. Always easier on the other side to see the light.Adam Tisdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537474108872705874noreply@blogger.com
