Thank you for your words and insight, with which I completely resonate. To you and your bride who have persevered, “Well done, good and faithful servants….”
So grateful you are finishing strong! It is part of your DNA. Being sensitive to Holy Spirit power is more relevant than our feelings and therefore, we are to be true to our mission. I have found that there is a fine line between strength in leading with confidence (with humility as stated) and loving and caring for others. It is however, a reciprocal relationship. Love is action, love is truth and with that many people to shepherd, it requires an unmistakable sense of awareness of the balance. To far in either direction and obstacles emerge. I have admired your passion for the Lord that is obvious in your preaching and in your desire to shepherd the flock… whether you feel like it or not! Thank you for being a “principled” leader in the church and your family. You have been a voice of reason and truth and our family has benefited! In love, r
Congratulations Mike (and Pam)! I know God is saying, “Well done my good and faithful servant”! I know you truly won’t “retire”, but move on to being used by God in a different capacity. Thank you for your ministry and all you’ve meant to Fred and I and our family!
