I am so busy, I am running on empty, and I am more convinced than ever that I am unfit for ministry because I am not "spiritual" enough, I am not loving enough, I am not smart enough, I am not compassionate enough, I am full of pride, I am full of ugliness, I am never going to be able to fully meet the demands placed upon my life.
I need the I AM more than ever.
p.s. sorry for the rant... I am sick right now.

Ryan,
Your recognition of your unworthiness, should just serve as a healthy reminder, that you are a man, and only a man, one beggar telling another beggar where to get a crust of bread. It is this attitude that the Lord would require of any of those who serve him and Shepard his flock.
Congratulations on making yet another important step on your continued journey. I continue to pray for you.
James 4:10 - "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up."
(2Co 12:7) To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
(2Co 12:8) Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
(2Co 12:9) But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
(2Co 12:10) That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
