You've lost you!

It's been a while again, I'm not the best at keeping up with things like this. 


Busy day!


Anyway, a comment given to me has really resonated with me and challenged me, and after reading a quote in a book today I feel confirmed what I was thinking.


The quote was as follows...'One of my most sobering moments in relation to this issue came as I was driving a minibus full of young people home from a weekend away in the Lake District. We'd had a fantastic time together, and it was so good to hear the chatter and singing and laughter coming from the group. We'd been travelling for a little while when one of the group leant forward to talk to me. She told me that she'd just been praying for me and felt that God wanted me to know that he loved the role I played as youth pastor, and the concern that I had for the group, but he'd really like to meet Ruth again.'


Can we sometimes get caught up in our roles? When we are leaders, are we losing our identity in God?


Something to ponder....
