Dream Job


My Dream Job

 In 2006 I was ordained in the Association of Vineyard Churches, USA and I have been exploring and waiting for God to reveal the ministry He was calling me to. I know that my ministry involves me using the gifts and talents God has given to me and experiences I have had in my life to serve others.

Over the past few years that ministry has become etched in my mind. It has to do with serving the church and serving the servants to the church.

I am moving forward to my dream job which looks like this:

     Working 6 to 8 hours 3-4 days for a small, growing church earning a modest salary.

         Working at least 2-3 days serving hurting, fallen or struggling servants.

The church position would be that of a small group/church needs pastor. I would perform these duties under the direct supervision and according the needs of the lead pastor. 

The servant server position would be art of our Restoration Farm and called Restoration Ministry. In this position I would act as a sounding board for the servant to discover the true problem, get healing for the wounds they have and to restore the individual in their relationship with Jesus.

Each of these positions would be ultimately under the supervision of the Holy Spirit. Whatever results that occur would be for God’s glory and brought about by an encounter with the Holy Spirit.

Freedom

As we in the United States of America celebrate freedom this July 4th I want to remind everyone where true freedom comes from.





I want to share a personal story about freedom. When my daughter turned 18 she moved out on her own. One evening she asked for me to come over because she needed to talk with me. We sat down at her kitchen table and she pulled out a stack of bills. She took her electric bill and as she waved it she talked about how much it was. She did the same with the phone bill, the gas bill and the cable bill. She the looked at me and said these words which I believe we should think about. "I did not realize how expensive freedom is."

Our freedoms in this country have been won at a high cost. Our freedom as Christians has been won at even a higher price.

What are we doing with our freedom?
