Officially moving from Twitter to Threads & wont be tweeting anymore. the algorithm here seems to think I want to watch Christians debate whether women should be in ministry or not & a fresh start on a similar app sounds great. It’s been real, Twitter! 👋
Wanna do yourself a really big favor? Stop fixating on a person who drives you crazy. How many times are you going to lose it over a career misogynist’s misogyny?? Over a narcissist’s narcissism? Over an attention seeker’s attention seeking? You’re playing right into their hand.
A few years ago I was told to stay in Atlantic Canada that I would probably be at a small church, or not called pastor, or not preach.
This international women’s day I am grateful for a church / leadership that FULLY sees & recognizes women.
Humbled & grateful to God. 🙏🏻
On the phone with a sleep country agent and at the end of the convo he said “happy to help, thanks for choosing sleep country and sleep well!”
And I said “you too!” 🤦🏼♀️
In a similar vein, by the end of the month our next gen team will have written around 150 thank you cards to volunteers. That is a LOT of people investing in the next generation!
I thought I was feeling a bit better after being sick this weekend until I accidentally ordered 9 GF DF pizzas and 1 regular pizza with cheese for a kids event instead of the other way around, like it should have been.
What my text messages look like as a pastor - just from tonight (all different ppl):
- who is leading worship Dec 2?
- what is the budget limit for yankee swap?
- can we do lunch?
- have you seen a trumpet?
- what happened to the curtain?
if your children's ministry person is volunteer, PT or FT, do something to bless them this week. They're coordinating dozens of other peoples schedules every single week to ensure that kids have people who show up for them & care about them week after week. They're rockstars.
But thankfully we serve a God who has the grace to take each of his children into account so that his kingdom comes in the lives of people we minister to whether or not we are correct on the amount of whatever X is. 💯
Sometimes in ministry you meet with someone who says “this program doesn’t have enough of X” and then you meet someone else not 10 mins later who says “this same program has too much of X”. It’s a good reminder that we will never please everyone 😅
