I just pulled a quote from Holly Furtick’s blog.  “Remember that life, no matter what your profession, is difficult, messy and stressful.  Don’t blame it on the ministry.” So often we give full-time ministry a bad rep for being difficult and hard.  Great news.  It is.  Nothing of significance come to fruition without challenges. If you’re struggling as a leader, welcome to the club.  As a pastor or church planter, the grass can sometimes look greener on the other side.  If you took on another profession, the challenges of dealing with difficult people, message prep, and strategizing will be replaced with the challenges of a long commute, micromanaging boss, and unpaid overtime.  Count your blessings. This takes me to another one of her quotes. “Focus on what you get to be a part of, a great move of God across our city.  And we get a front row seat!” Great stuff!
