Searching

after my last pastoral position i decided to take a year off from pastoral ministry to "find my head" - and my heart - now i am ready to "get back in" and move forward in doing what I have confirmed in my heart God wants from me - and that is to pastor a church.

i am praying that God will open the doors for a church in the LA [long beach/whittier/hunting beach kind of area - but anywhere in LA is cool] area - but i am open to where God is leading. while i am "putting out resumes" [not big on that by the way] i am more interested in finding a place where relationships are seen as something important - if you have been reading my blog on ginkworld you know i am looking to "live the church organic" - where relationships are important and people are accepted for all their faults and baggage - i know it sounds crazy, but i believe there is a community of faith out there looking for me, because i trust God 100%

if anyone knows of such a place - if anyone knows of a community of faith looking for a pastor that is a bit on the "edgy side" - please let me know - while i have planted in the past, i do not have the energy, drive or call to plant again :) while it has to be "the right community of faith" i am willing to chat with anyone about the possibilities -

thank you - and please keep me in your prayers over this transition in my life -
