AWESOME SUNDAY, but A CRAZY MONDAY!

Well we had 4o somthing in services on Sunday with one Baptism. The work on the building is about done, our sign got put up Sat. Sat, Chrissy, and a few other church peoples planted about 30 mums outside the building and it looks awesome! I took pics and was planning on posting them today but I had a bit of trouble. I was at the coffee shop and I had to be taken to the hospital (where I sit now). I guess I had some kind of mild stroke or somthing. Details are still being looked into. All I know was that it wa scary. I work out everyday and try to stay fit, but I guess nothing can prepare you for the downfalls of stress and over-zerting yourself. I had planned on taking a vacation with my wife and daughter upon our arrival to Jersey but just blew it off. I guess it is about time to get away for a few days to unwind and spend some time with the fam. Its hard with me, I know that God is in control of everything, I know I shouldn't worry about stuff that I cant change. I go to God but just need to learn how to leave it with God and let go. Please pray for me. I am a worry wart to with a captital W. Those who know me or have even hung out with me for 5 min know this. The doctor told me maybe I should find another line of work. I laughed! I would never ever leave the ministry that God has called me too! I just need to learn a few more things about ministry right now. 
1.  Don't fret over things that really dont matter.
2. Cut down on the espressos and drink weaker coffee and less of it. MAN THATS GONNA BE HARD!
3. Allow the peace of God to fill me and control every part of my life NO MATTER what the situation, circumstance, problem, person, or anything else that fits in that space.
4. Thank God for friends who love me and lift me up when I am down!!!!THANKS GUYS!!!!

You are in my prayers brother! Equip and delegate sooner than later. Keep trusting God, but also trust your people.

Praying for you brother. Make sure and schedule some down time into each week for yourself and your family. I sure enjoyed your company at the Pastors Retreat. Take it easy and know that we are praying for you.
