Counting my Blessings

This morning I spent some time reflecting on the honor that I have to lead Church of the King.  Here are ten things I feel so grateful for.

• The call of God: I don't deserve it.
• Encouraging dreamers: I regularly counsel people who are thinking about the future.
• Changed Lives: So many disciples in our church are being transformed.
• Pastoral care: It's an honor to love people through tragedy.
• Building leaders: God has blessed us with some of the best, and I believe in them.
• The power of the Holy Spirit: So humbling to be a channel He moves through.
• Preaching the Word: Probably my greatest joy as a pastor.
• Planting churches: It's in my blood.
• Introducing the lost to Jesus: Still nothing else like it.
• A God-sized vision: Blessing a city.  The whole city!

How has God called you to serve, and what do you love about it?  I hope you know the thrill of waking up every morning to the tune of mission.

First off, I would just like to introduce myself. My name is Scott Laurain, and I attend Northville Christian Assembly of God. I have been reading your blog for about a week now, and I have really enjoyed it.

I am in the currently in the process of applying for credentials, and I have been called to serve the youth of this nation. I want to do whatever I can to help the unsaved youth build a connection with Jesus Christ. I love when God uses me to touch a young persons life. It is such a humbling experience to be used in such a manner.
