I took a long needed break this past Sunday. I needed rest. No. I need rest…

I am so tired mentally and physically wasted from just trying to do too much. Stress raised its ugly head this past Saturday in the form of a bad attitude and I was reminded how much I need God. My problem is my schedule…and my lack of controlling it. Can’t blame anyone but me on that issue. Moving on…

Been thinking about a few things…food for thought so to speak.

Just was thinking about a few things we do as parents, but don’t do, sometimes, as mentors, friends, and even pastors. Over the past few years, I have “let the cat out of the bag” on my calling. I have talked about youth pastoring…or maybe even pastoring young adults. Now, my friends and mentors tell me that although they could envision me as a pastor, they couldn’t see me as a youth pastor, or a young adults pastor, and on and on…I can’t help but feel challenged when they do that to me. It honestly makes me just want to go out and do it…

Do you know why?

Because I have bought into the concept placed upon me by my parents…“You can do anything you set mind on doing.” (Or something like that…)

My question is, when did we stop believing this for ourselves? When did we stop believing this concept for others also?

It’s no wonder we run back to our parents when were hurt or in trouble. We run back to them because in their eyes we can do anything. We can make fiction…fact. We can turn limits…into limitless. In the eyes of my parents I am so full of potential, purpose, and destiny. However, in the eyes of my friends, mentors, and even pastors…I have limits. There are things that they absolutely can’t see me doing it.

Do you think God sees His children as having limits? Is God short-sided on vision? I don’t think so…and I think that is one of the reasons I find it easy to run to him with my problems. God tells me I can do anything through Christ who strengthens me. There is no limit to the word “anything” and I like that.

Maybe that’s why I find it easier to run to Him…instead of the church.
