Yesterday marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. For what was probably the last time on a regular basis, I led worship at a local church. What was my visible ministry for the last nearly seven years has given way to what I know beyond the shadow of a doubt is what God created me to do – lead a local church.

So now it’s time to transition to full blown pastor mode. This new era in my life gets under way very soon. In less than two weeks our launch team starts meeting on a regular basis each Sunday. In just over two months we will have our first public service at our first preview service. And in less than four months we will be rockin’ and rollin’ every week with Sunday morning services.

Fittingly, my Bible reading schedule took me to Isaiah 43 this morning where God was screaming to me from the pages that He is the one doing this new thing in my life. “Look, I am about to do something new. Now it begins to happen! Do you not recognize it? Yes, I will make a road in the desert and paths in the wilderness.”

Am I pumped up? You bet. Am I a little scared, too? No doubt. But one thing is sure - I can’t wait to see the roads and the paths He carves in this new thing He is doing.
