“You have to recognize what season of life you are in,” He said in response to my question
“Guy, it’s all about you!” -MK
Everyone should have important people in their life. Someone who can give you advice and tell you when you are about to blow it. One of those people for me is Matt Keller.
Last week he was explaining ministry responsibility.
He began to tell me 3 phases of a Christian’s life. (He learned them from a book.)
Divine Foundation (Phase 1)
Happens from birth to 18 years old. This is when the foundation is poured. God is setting up things when you don’t even know it. Maybe I grew up hunting, shooting guns, home schooling and in church for a reason.
Second Phase
1st or primarily God is working in the leader. Secondary God is working through the leader.
He stresses this is the phase I am in now. (hints the title of the post.)
Third Phase
It flips… God works primarily through the leader. And secondary is what God does in the leader.
What God is Doing
Some girls think its all about them. That’s another topic. What I am talking about is realizing that God is working on us and training us so we can be used. He cares enough about us to train us. Clearly, I am in the second phase. God does more in me than he does through me. I’m finally okay with that. A few years ago, I would be trying to force my way to the next phase. But I learning to enjoy the season of life that I am in.
I found this little piece of paper. I kind like the simple questions. Its funny how easy they are to answer when your 8. Why do they get more difficult the older you get?
