In the middle of a busy season...
Ah, Advent.
Everyone always said that the Advent Season is busy for pastors, but I honestly didn't expect it to be THIS busy. :). Maybe I like to fool myself. In the next few days before Christmas, we have church celebrations, a choir concert where I've been asked to do some narration, I'm preaching on Sunday, meetings, and a Youth Winter Retreat that I'm leading. Oh, and then there's the Christmas Eve service and caroling. It feels overwhelming, and yet, I find myself joyful and at peace.
What a gift!
Anyway, here's a picture taken last night... a teenager, Rebecca and a preschooler, Esther and me. THIS is part of why I still feel so joyful and at peace.
Continued blessings in this Advent Season everyone!

Thankful for friends and mentors
Yep, that's me on the right hand side of this picture! I got some good air!
Last week, I had the opportunity to spend some time with some great mentors and friends and have some great conversations about our ministries and be a support to one another. Although not all of them are in this picture, all of them have been journeying with me over the past 5 years or so with me. They love me as I am and have supported me to where I am now. When I focus on that, I couldn't ask for more than to be surrounded by people like this.
