Contemplative Comics day 99

8/11

When I made my first public post about getting fired, I got a message from a dear friend. He was the youth pastor who led me to Jesus. He was my mentor. He was my pastor when we fought for years to plant a church together. He was open and honest with me about his struggles and the hardships he had faced and the pain he had experienced from ministry.

I got a level of formation through his friendship that few people do where I am from.

And when he found out I had been fired, I received this message on Facebook which made me laugh so hard I started crying:

”Aaaaaaannnnd now you are a minister.”
