Off to K.C.

I'm leaving for Kansas City, Missouri in a couple of hours. Over the next 10 days I'll be in Kansas City, Springfield, and Bentonville, Arkansas. Then I fly back to Detroit and take off again for Pittsburgh later this month.

I love travelling and speaking, especially when I get to share what God is doing in Pontiac and challenge other churches to participate in world missions and church planting. I absolutely love it, but not as much as I love my church.

I love being a pastor. I love the faith challenges that I get to walk through and the life changes that I get to see. I can't think of a better job! Everyday I wake up energized to do what I do. I love being a pastor, but not as much as I love my wife.

Vanessa is wonderful. I love being married to her. I can't imagine doing life or ministry without her. She's a great support and encouragement to me on a daily basis. I definitely have the best wife in the world and I love her so much, but not as much as I love Jesus.

Jesus is number one. He's my priority. He comes above my marriage and my ministry. My goal in life is to please Him. Then as I serve Him faithfully my marriage is blessed along with my ministry. Nothing beats serving the Lord!

I think we all need to remember to prioritize our lives in this way:

1. Our relationship with Jesus
2. Our relationship with our Spouse (then Children)
3. Our relationship with our Church or Ministry

And if we do I know God will bless each and every area of our lives! And I'm off...
