Today, is my 2nd
anniversary of being the pastor of Haven Baptist Church. It is easy for
me to remember in light of the events that took place on September 11th, 2001.
Over the past two years, I have seen
God do many things in our faith family. We are growing in our Love for
the Lord while learning what it means to love one another. God continues
to humble me and remind me of his steadfast love. I'm reminded that slow
and steady wins the race when at times I want to just hurriedly get things done
or change the path we are currently on.
I was encouraged this past week as one of our deacons read from
Hebrews 12:1-2.
Therefore,
since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside
every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with
endurance the race that is set before us, looking
to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was
set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated
at the right hand of the throne of God.
I'm learning to run with perseverance while fixing
my eyes on Jesus, the perfecter of my faith. Jesus is the chief shepherd
of the church. He has led me to pastor
the flock at Haven Baptist and I’m thankful for such a weighty
responsibility. I’m more thankful that
God is transforming our lowly bodies into his (Jesus Christ’s) glorious body
(Philippians 3:20-21). God is still
working!
