Relationship over Religion
Thanks guys for the encouragement! 
My relationship with God is wonderful, and by itself is enough to satisfy me in this life. However, I can't help but recognize that He has done so much to train and educate me to pass some of this on to others. It all started with Him calling me to ministry, how could it end without that part ever coming to pass?
Often I relate to Abraham waiting for his promised son. As his relationship with God developed, I'm sure the desire for earthly things decreased. However the promise for a son keept that desire alive when all other ones were disappearing. Yet in the end Abraham chose his relationship with God over everything else when he was asked to offer up Issac as a sacrafice.
I would be willing to give up anything in my relationship with God. Yet if I gave up all possibility of ministry, God would then be proven unfaithful becaused He promised it. So I am left in a possition where I am forced to hang on in faith, even though circumstances look like it could never happen.
