Mini-Post // Quick Read

Hey.

This will probably be short, but you never know with these sorts of exercises. Once my thoughts start flowing they tend to meander into areas that were once covered up and long hidden.

So, what's been going on in the world of the pastor's husband? Not a whole lot. Just standing by her side and watching her do her job. I've been going to church regularly now (the past 3 Sundays in a row); I went to their Fall Bazaar; I went to the gathering of conference pastors and spouses; and I've discussed ideas and thoughts I've had about her church and whatnot.

Oh, I've also been working: subbing around the school district, with more days upcoming (a lot of days), and I start a second job tomorrow after school doing some STEM tutoring and whatnot with area youth. It is all steps in the right direction, I think. I need to get as involved in my current career path in order to feel out what may/may not be my true calling.

Am I supposed to be a teacher?

Am I supposed to be a ministry leader?

Am I supposed to do something in between?

I don't know yet, but am trying to make a more intentional effort toward discerning the right path for me. It isn't going to be easy, but there seems to be a lot of pastoral support in the conference of pastors we belong to. I am also looking into ministry opportunities for me to get plugged into so that I can actively feel out the ministry side of the equation too. That's going to be hard part.

I also have come up with other ideas to help me tap into the ministry side of things, but I'll divulge those ideas a little later.

For now, I just want to retrain the routine of sitting down and communicating with those of you who read this. So, like I said, this could be a short one... and I think it is going to be left at that.

Thank-you for reading. Please, feel free to direct people here for future reference and the past posts. I know there hasn't been a lot of meaningful work put into this project over the past month, but as time goes on there will be more.

More content.
More discussion.
More work.
More enlightenment.

So, please stay tuned as the journey has, really, just begun!

Sincerely,
A Pastor's Husband
