Sometimes in the shadow of others we can have the tendency to feel small and insignificant. Whether it's in our personal life or in our ministries, feeling insignificant can be the deflation of the largest hearts.
Yet, so many times we get caught in the feeling of it all and miss the eternal truth of the ministries we are called to. If your feelings have cruel intentions of tricking you into feeling insignificant in ministry, you are not alone. Let's take a journey past our feelings though....
I'm a Pastor. It's sad to say but sometimes in ministry I find myself somewhere between faith & failure. I know "Pastors aren't supposed to feel this way", but at times I do. I simply want to share what is going on in my head and heart during these times because if there is anyone like me out there... I want them to know they are not alone... because in times like these I feel very alone!

Ain't Always Easy
Where do you draw the line between being a polite, civil christian and a frustrated, annoyed mouth piece of God? I know for me, sticking my foot in my mouth is a constant problem. Getting better at expressing my "pepper" with a "Salt" attitude is a goal worth working towards. If you struggle with a Salt & Pepper attitude then you know "it ain't easy". What frustrates us so? Is it other people? Bad decisions? Uncertain circumstances? Or could it be the "C" Word?
