Man, you hit the nail on the head. For me preaching is one of the biggest highs I have ever found. God will impress a scripture on me and have me meditate on it. Then He will slowly give me the general direction He wants the message to go. At last when the time comes it is a rush as Sprirt and flesh blend together. In that moment my brain can process more than I can comprehend. All at once... I can feel the power of God's Sprirt, see the bible open up from Gen to Rev before me, feel what everyone in the room needs, tell who is soaking it up, choose the best scripture for support, and even sense if there be supernatural help or hindrence in the room. (run-on sentence much!) Preaching is the fun part, it's running the church that gives me a hard time. I need a lot of work on my management skills. Yet another thing I am trying to round out on my journey to becoming a better human being.
Born nude.. I have to admit I have an unfair advantage in my time. Being a Pastor let's me combine Spiritual growth and work into one. If I am laying on the couch reading The Shack, I am "working". At least that is what I tell the wife when asked to do chores. (shhhh) Right now my day looks like this:
Wake up at the crack of 9:00/11:00
Me and wife have protein shakes
Play with kids while making their breakfast
I go to computer for 3 or 4 hours of Prayer/ Bible study/E-mails/etc.
lunch is chicken breast/tuna
2:30 put on clothes, pick up son at school
Go to gym for 1 1/2 hrs
4:30 Supper is something healthy
Play with kids
Evening is church functions/phone calls/counceling/ hospital visits/CNC meetings/conferences/ revivals/member visits/dates with wife/dates with myself/and as often as I can I take my kids fishing,swimming,camping,etc.
Play with kids
Put kids to bed
Enjoy time with my wife
Go to bed at 1:00/2:00 am
This is a typical day in my life. I am on call 24 hours a day. What do you think? Big Grizzly Bare
