Lessons From a Second Chapter of Ministry
The speaker marks January 1 2000 as the start of a ministerial role as minister at large across southwest Manitoba, detailing personal transitions and four lessons. First, leaving a familiar life is painful and requires time for others to know you. Second, past memories should be carried forward to guide future paths. Third, painful memories must be resolved to avoid stress shaping new roles. Fourth, embrace uncertainty and live one day at a time with faith and flexibility, to be explored further next week.
