People expect a lot out of ministers. People expect a lot out of me.
Sometimes I wonder if people even respect our personal lives.
Sometimes I want to relax and have some me time. The role of being a
minister is so interesting because this thing is a 24/7 job. The phone
can ring anytime with someone looking for advice, or just wanting
someone to talk, or anything else. People will call u after business
hours and expect you to answer. And the funny part is that I feel
guilty when I don't answer because that may be the moment when someone
needs me the most. I know I am not Jesus. I know I have my
limitations. But everbody else doesn't seem to know. I don't have all
the answers but I just try to be there as best as I can. The stresses
of ministry is crazy. I don't do this for recognition. I don't do it
for the $. I do it because God told me to. But every now and then, I
would like a little me time. Time to recoup on energy so I can be a
better minister. I can't make every event. I can't be Superman. All I
can be is Michael.
God bless,
Rev
