It comes do...I agree with both you and James Dave. It comes down to whether you see your job as a career or as a calling. For me, I feel like I'm the luckiest girl alive to be paid to do what so many do for free. I mean, being a Youth Pastor is the best job on earth. You literally get paid to hang with kids and pray for them, and talk about God and have coffee and go to the movies and go-karting... what job on earth would be better than that? And I get to do mine in Torquay! (sorry to rub that in, but it's too late now - you can't have my job - though I'd be willing to do a job swap for your next overseas trip!!)<BR/><BR/> But at the end of the day, there is a great responsibility that goes with being a Pastor or Youth Pastor... you are responsible for ensuring that your "flock" are constantly being challenged and inspired to know more of God, and to explore their faith on a deeper level. And there's no KPI's for you to know how well you are doing your job. Often you won't know until you get to Heaven whether your ministry produced fruit or not. <BR/><BR/>I am thankful that there are an increasing number of people out there willing to be sold out for God and give up their time to work over and above the "call of duty" in the Army... And it can only get better from here with the launch of 2Love! I believe the next generation of Salvationists will be the ones who take the Army to a whole new level! :) Bring it on!<BR/><BR/>Hope to see you guys soon - come for a visit!Sarah Eldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803748869806523950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666322160909245642.post-46841001324431987852007-07-21T11:26:00.000+10:002007-07-21T11:26:00.000+10:00thats a great post dave!
