This final post is Where I Am Now.
So here I am now. After following the lead of Jesus for over 30 years, now I wonder what will happen next. Yes, I am 62, but God works through people into old age, but I am not old yet.
Jesus led me on a journey, a path, where I have helped different ethnic churches, facilitated weekend groups at my church, been on ministry trips to France, Mexico and 2 to Brazil besides the ones to Romania, mentored a group of young people from Vietnam who are now young professionals, helped people from many countries study for the TOEFL TEST- a test for English proficiency, been in the homes of refugees and listened to their stories, and much more.
Jesus took me the son of an alcoholic father and mentally ill mother. Me the person who almost died and lost memory. Me the person who went through the ordeal of trying to piece life back together again.
Jesus took me and worked through me to bless people from all over the world.
A funny thing happened on my way to becoming a pastor. I became a tentmaking home missionary, a teacher, a mentor, a confidant, a writer, but I never became a pastor.
I have applied to be a local substitute teacher but never got certified because Jesus had me so busy with other endeavors. Will I become a sub? I don’t know yet.
My hope is to continue teaching English for at least 8 more years. My thinking is if I can talk, I can teach. My hope is also to continue to share the love of Jesus with people from diverse cultures until Jesus takes me home to heaven.
A Funny Thing Happened On My Way To Becoming A Pastor- I Never Did. Well at least not for Americans which was what I thought would happen when I first began the journey.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
