One year ago today, I became the pastor of Grace Baptist Church. I wish I had some wise and profound reflections on all the things I’ve learned and all the ways I’ve grown in the last year, but I don’t. It’s not that I haven’t learned and grown, because I have. Immensely. And only due to the awesome grace of God.
I’d like to say that to even begin such a list would not do justice to the innumerable ways God has been working on me in the last year. This would be true, but the whole truth is that I don’t have a definitive list of ways I’ve grown because I haven’t arrived in any area. I’m still learning and growing. And by the grace of God, I will continue to learn and grow for the rest of my life.
God, I pray that You would use me. May I be faithful, and show all people how awesome You are. Amen.
Joe and I got married at Grace Baptist Church… it was in Toccoa, GA though…
This was touching Chris. I'm sure your church family is grateful for you and Abby:)
Miriam, we are very grateful for them. They have been a tremendous blessing to us all.
I am thankful for your presence at Grace Baptist. I see God using you and your family in many ways. He is building his kingdom through you. I see you being faithful to God in many ways but most of all being consisitent in your walk with Him which sets the example for those of us watching you. I admire and am thankful for the way you are training your children.
I truly appreciate you reaching out to your extended church family. Thank you for the prayers and I need prayers to build up these under used muscles so I can get off the walker and walk on my own 2 feet.
We are blessed to have you and your family lead our church. You are doing an awesome job and probably don't even realize the impact you are making. We love you guys!
