As a boy, whenever I would complain about anything, my Dad would always say, "Quit your bellyaching. It's not the end of the world." Guess what: He was right!
All my problems, changes, and inconveniences were not the end of the world back then. And they still aren't.
This is the week I leave my ministry in Maryland for my ministry in Florida. It is a huge change for me: I am going from a comfortable salary, to having to work a marketplace job. I am going from a large, established church to essentially a pioneer work. I am going from 10 years of familiarity, relationships, and influence, to a life of the unknown.
But it's not the end of the world.
Rather, it's what faith is: taking a risk and stepping out of the comfort of the familiar into the excitement of the unknown.
My wife and I are in our mid-fifties. We should be settling down, slowing down, gearing down. Instead, we are embarking on an adventure of epic proportions.
No, it's not the end of the world: It's just the beginning!
Question: What has been the end of the world (as you know it), for you? Share your thoughts below in comments.
