  I met with the pastor of my mom's church today. My mom really wanted me to meet with him to talk about my thoughts of going into ministry. I had no problem with that because the more people I can discuss this path with the better. I think my mom had a hidden agenda though.
I think she was hoping that he would talk me out of it or something, since she and my dad aren't the most keen on the idea. However, he did no such thing. We had a great talk. I told him about my spiritual history and how I've come to this point in my faith journey and he listened. After he had finished listening he told me his insights. He definitely things that God is calling me into full-time service for Him.
Based on what I told him, he told me that I had the qualities in me to become a great leader. I have the desire for human well-being on a global level and that is the one thing great leaders have in common with each other. He also paid me the highest complement anyone has ever paid me. He told me that I have the heart of Christ. I didn't even know how to respond to such a complement. I still don't and I'm not sure I ever will.
