God is doing a crazy thing in my heart. I am continuously questioning things and trying to understand why I believe what I do. He's been giving me a REAL love for people. A love so encompassed with grace it scares and shocks even me. Sure I may not understand, but I know that this compassion that has been birthed in me is there for a reason.
I have a feeling that God is calling me to something different, something greater. I can't put my finger on it but I know that people are going to be angry with my actions. I'm going to be critisized and even marginalized by the church itself. As a Vanguard student I'm taught to be innovative, that's what my calling as a pastor is too. An innovative ministry. What the heck does that look like?!?!?! I guess I wont know until I get there. I think it starts with truly loving the person, regardless of the sin, regardless of my preconceived ideas of who and what they are. The healthy people don't need a doctor...the sick do....ha ha....that's funny....I've always wanted to be called "Dr Sasha Hale" maybe it won't be official....but maybe indirectly God is calling me to be a doctor to the lost....to introduce to them the hope that I've found, and they too can find, in Jesus....to help heal their beaten bodies and broken hearts....wow....that just changed my life.
