Feeling nervous

Last Sunday Gorgeous and I were commissioned by our current church to begin the work of establishing a new church. Obviously everything is in its very early stages but if you’re interested you can read more at www.networkfellowship.org. I mentioned to a couple of people that the last time I remember feeling as nervous as I did on that Sunday morning was the day of my wedding.

It’s not so much that I was worried or anything, and it’s not as if I haven’t been up in front of that particular group of people before but like the day I got married there was a whole new life to look forward to, one that I was excited about; but at the same time filled with quite a few unknowns. In the lead up to the wedding Gorgeous and I prepared for our new life as best we could and for the most part we were as ready as we were ever going to be (It’ll be 10 years in December so we must have done something right). But what single person really knows what they’re getting themselves into? All you really have is your commitment to each other and to God and the rest you sort out as you go along.

I draw some parallels to our current new adventure. We believe God has called us to this ministry and we’ve done our best to prepare as best we could, but in the end all we have is our commitment to Him and desire to serve.
