An Epic Journey

When I was young and first in ministry it was not uncommon for me to pull all nighter’s getting ready for an event or just planning out activities.  As I’ve gotten older, married, and a baby, I have had to learn about balance.  I still don’t think I have it all together (I’m blogging at 9pm while Jenni’s in the bathroom) but I’m getting better.

I think I had a better grasp on balance in my life and ministry before we left to church plant.  There are so many pressing issues in church planting and so many people to meet that it can be all encompassing.  Luckily, I have a wife that reminds me that my first responsibility is to God, her and little Peter.  It is God’s responsibility to build the church (at least that’s what Jesus said), it is my responsibility to take care of my family.  I am no where near perfect at this, and I still have a lot to learn, but I think at least in the last few weeks I have started to right myself again.

Well, Jenni’s back, so I’m off to spend some time with her and the best little baby around!
