This is the big day! We are here at the Shepherds’ Conference. I am waiting for the first session to begin. The men are around me in fellowship some getting caught up with old friends and others getting to know new friends.
For the past few years, I have used this time to recharge my spiritual batteries. This conference seems to fall at just the right time for that. Many challenges and snares have been laid over the years; so this conference allows me to focus on what is important in my life: my Lord, my family, and the Body of Christ. This year is no different. I have felt at a low ebb in my spiritual walk. I have been strong, but in need of strengthening. I am maturing; yet in need of further maturity.
This conference brings many positives to me and my spiritual walk; but there are some negatives. I can walk in the flesh when it comes to planning and coordination. Also, I can struggle with feelings of anxiety because of the responsibilities back home. This time is always an odd mix of the flesh and the spirit for me (Romans 7).
As for this year, I would like to step out of my comfort zone this year and get to know more people. I seem to struggle with feelings of inferiority; but I know it is only sin! I have repented of this sin and hope to begin to overcome it practically.
The first session is about to start!!!!
