You wouldn't believe it if I told you... I am writing this from the local Starbucks in Kapaa, HI on Kauai. I am back studying the Holy Word of God on one of God's masterpieces of creation. I am both excited and frightened of the new horizons that have quickly developed.
For a little background: God called me to be a pastor in the fall of 2006 one Saturday night as I sat alone in a pew. I have been taking Bible College classes since as I have been growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. Today, almost three years later, it looks as if God's call will become reality. Kauai Calvary Chapel has presented an open door to which God is calling me to walk through. Their youth leader had to leave the island and it looks as if I will be the pastor to fill his shoes. I will be the High School pastor here at Kauai Calvary Chapel and I will be officially, for the first time, stepping into what God has created me to do.
I feel a little apprehensive about such a responsibility, but I am confident in my God - knowing that He provides everything necessary to fulfill the callings He places upon His children. God will grant the wisdom, strength, knowledge, and grace for me to shepherd His kids. I take this responsibility with great reverence and fear. I know that I will be held to a stricter judgment, yet I pray that in humility I can allow God to powerfully work through me as His tool.
I love you all and please pray for me in this new season.
