Retreating in Order to Advance
I have only a moment or two to post a thought for the day, so here it is: I'm going to pull away from the normal routine for the next two days in order to pray, read, plan, and care for my flock through a personal, pastoral retreat.
I'm retreating in order to advance. I'll be avoiding the phone, staying away from the internet (so there will be no blog posts over the next couple days), breaking loose from pressing details and plans and administrative work, avoiding food, and more, in order to go before God in your behalf. In other words I'll be in retreat in order to help us advance.
Please pray for me as I pray and plan for you all. As I enter this retreat I do so with a heart aching for the spiritual strength and joy of all those I know and love and pastor. Very much aware of the ways the enemy is attacking souls and families and our world, I long for the joy and holy growth of all of us and our families. I am pulling away that I might serve you in a quiet place.
And I pray that I will see many of you Friday evening at 7:00, as we gather together to pray that God would dazzle our hearts, our church, our families, and our world with His glory.
Please prepare. Please pray. Please come.
God bless.

Tim,
May God meet with you today, refreshing your soul, increasing your joy in Him, granting you clarity in vision as you lead and serve His people. "Taste, and see that the Lord is good". Blessings pastor.
