2nd last Sunday at my old Church first time leading a worship gathering at my new church. Yesterday was a great affirmation that I have made the correct decision. It started in the morning when I realized my uniform pants had ripped forcing me to wear old black khaki pants (yeah they look as bad as they sound) then at church my uniform shirt popped open at the neck. It seemed as though my uniform was telling me it was time to move on. Then Sunday night, I lead discussion and gave several small messages, and I have to say I was a bit nervous before I spoke, but while I was speaking I felt more comfortable then I had ever felt speaking in a church. I thank God for giving Kristen and I the strength to follow Christ even though it would have been easier staying put.
I was reminded again that following Christ is an amazing journey but it certainly isn't and shouldn't be a comfortable and easy journey!
Peace,

I thought you did a great job Jason! The Freeway is lucky to have Kristen and yourself join us. We look forward to what God brings to our community through you both. Thanks for being an example of what it means to follow what God is asking....even though it hasn't been easy.
Your blog is really inspirational ... THANKS!!!
is it your uniform or your fat?
thanks for the comments (except Martin) lol! Yeah the fatness does help the object lesson along.
Hey Jason, just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for both of you. Yes, it's hard to follow God and move against the current, but I can tell you it is WORTH IT! God blesses those who truly follow His direction. I have a very good feeling about this for both of you.
You are "Singing to the LORD, a new song;"(~Psalm 96:1). So sing as loud as you can.
Matt
