I Am Still a Pastor
By lasbiggs | April 5, 2008
God told me several things. He told me that I am a pastor. He told me that my provision lies with my husband. He told me the vision for my ministry.
I told him that I wanted to be able to work my ministry and help with the bills. I also told him that I wanted a way that I can be a stay at home mom with income coming in.
Now check this out, this is how good God is. My ministry’s motto is “Tearing Down the Walls of Oppression and Building Up God’s People.” The word “ministry” means help. I’m in the business of ministry. How did I get into this business. Through my husband. All this time I thought that my husband being my provision meant that he would be the one to take care of all our financial needs. It didn’t. It meant that through my husband, I was going to meet someone who had the key to everything I was looking for. Frankly, to the desires of my heart. We didn’t know that we were about to get plugged into a team that literally believes in raising yourself from the world’s standards to God’s. That meant learning how to recognize and tear down our walls of oppression so that we can build up people. Since this is a no excuse team, you have to do it while you are helping others do it. See, this ensures that we don’t think too highly of ourselves than we ought.
People wonder if I’m still a pastor. I wondered that. I can truly say, “Yes, I am a pastor.” My ministry no longer holds Sunday service or any other service for that matter. When I was told that God was going to do an awesome thing for my ministry in the city where I reside, I didn’t know what that was. Now I know. I really have a ministry without walls or borders. I have been blessed!

is doing what you’re afraid to do.
There can be no courage unless you’re scared.

The Key to a Better Life 5
By lasbiggs | February 5, 2008
“The Key to a Better Life”
By OG Mandino
From the book “Choices”
So many of us count the hours of our work as slavery. We limp through each day as if there were irons on our legs, our hands reluctantly on the task at hands, our eyes always on the clock. Let this day pass, we pray, so that we can escape from this abominable place into the darkness. We flinch at the voice of authority, despising the power that decrees how we should act, how we must think on the job. We feel so helpless. Like a child. Disobey and we will be punished. Our food, our shelter, our very existence ordains that we must labor. Is this our total fate? Are these tools, this sales talk, this lifeless computer, my entire future until death frees me? Is this all there is? Let me rest.
