A Fork In the Road

Lately I have been considering, praying about and talking with my wife and others about my next steps for life and ministry. When I took my current job, I told Diane I would do it for at least three years before I looked at moving on to something else. October 5th, which is in two weeks, will mark three years since I began this job, so i have been considering what steps to take next.

Here are some options I have considered:

Pursuing a Full-Time Ministry position.
Either as a Pastor of an established Church or in a Church Planting Capacity. I have already turned down a few positions, but my thoughts have been headed in that direction again. So, perhaps it is time to seriously look at diving back in.

Staying with the job I have.
It is a fun job, I get to do some things that not too many other people do, it pays decent. And, I could always work in a bi-vocational capacity. There are a couple of organizations I am looking at that would be glad to have someone with my background throw some volunteer work there way.

Getting some more education
If I am serious about returning to full-time ministry, why not go for some more schooling. A good School can be great for focusing, networking and getting in touch with God's plan. I am currently doing some classes, but I am talking about full-time residency stuff.

I guess it boils down to what God is leading me to do and how I decide to walk that out.
