10 years ago, more than 30 Presbyters gathered to publicly affirm my calling.
What I nobody knew was that God was beginning a process.
A process of pruning.
A process of stretching.
A process of trusting Him when I didn’t have answers.
A process of leading through victories, disappointments, growth, transitions, and uncertainty.
I’ve learned that ministry is more than preaching sermons. It’s carrying people, stewarding vision, surviving battles nobody sees, and still showing up with faith when the pressure says quit.
And whenever I have a moment whenever I find myself tired, discouraged, or wondering how far we’ve come I look back at the faithfulness of God.
I look back at the doors He opened that nobody could shut. I look back at the provision that showed up when resources were low. I look back at the prayers He answered and the promises He kept.
Because one thing I’ve learned is this:
People can’t sabotage what God called.
The enemy can’t cancel what God ordained.
What God starts, He finishes.
There were seasons I thought things would move faster.
Seasons where the weight felt heavier than the reward.
Seasons where I had more questions than answers.
But every challenge became a classroom.
Every setback became a setup.
Every battle increased my capacity.
So today, I don’t celebrate perfection. I celebrate God’s faithfulness.
A decade later, I’m still standing.
Still believing.
Still building.
Still preaching.
Still watching God do exactly what He said He would do.
It hasn’t been easy, but it has been worth it.
The same God who called me has carried me and He’ll carry me the rest of the way.”
