THE RETURN OF DICK AND CAROLYN LEE
It was so great to have Dick and Carolyn back at CEFC. And it was even better to get the opportunity to have them share about their ministry in the U.K. And as a result, the Koinonia room was packed almost beyond capacity. It's pretty amazing how my youth pastor of over 10 years ago and his family could have such a powerful affect on all of us that when they talk, people show up and listen.
Dick gave a short little talk that seemed perfectly designed for me. One thing he said is that ministry is very tiring and sometimes you wonder when it's going to end. But it's good to now know when it's going to end. And it's good to be out of your comfort zone. But regardless, the whole point of knowing God is to have a personal relationship with Him, not just to serve Him. And if serving gets in the way, then you may need to back off.
Those were definitely the words I needed to hear.
