I have this problem…well not a real problem as much as issue.  With every new experience I start thinking about the next experience.  As soon as the church I start is healthy and independent I start thinking about the next church.  When a friend I’ve been talking with about Christ comes to know God personally, I start thinking about the next friend.  It’s horrible, I know!  But here comes Tatum and I can’t think about a another child.  I love Tatum so much (except when she is screaming at me and I would for her to stop screaming at me…haha) and for now love the thought of just the three of us.  Summer has said the words “next baby” a few times lately.  Most of the comments deal with the next baby we will do better, know more, be more mentally prepared.  Not that Tatum has drained us, but its all new.

All these changes remind me when we got Brodie.  We took him to dog training as a pup and I remember the training saying “this class is more about training the dog owner and less about training the dog.”  Funny having a baby is a lot the same.  Tatum knows how to communicate with us…cry and we respond.  I feel like Summer and I are being trained right now.

Back to my thoughts on the next thing.  I’ve been thinking about going into full time ministry.  I’ve planted churches and worked a full time job to support my ministry since college.  Now I have a wife, child, and mortgage…maybe its time I start working full time ministry?  How does one find the perfect church to work in?
