Why Struggle?

Hiyee!..my name is Calvin Cuevas...I am the man behind this blog.. The Struggling Youth Pastor.

Just a little background..I am currently the "Struggling" Youth Pastor of Praise Christian Fellowship in Tondo..one of the nicest and coolest place on earth...

Our ministry is called "Youth Ablaze"..which basically means..young people on fire for God..we want to see them Ablaze for Him!

Now...maybe you're asking..or maybe not..why am I struggling???

Am I just pessimistic or am I just exaggerating..

well the truth is..

I called this blog the "Struggling Youth Pastor" simply because I am a struggling one.

I mean..life is a continuous struggle right? now..how much more if you are living a Youth Pastor's life?

Preparing sermons...Casting Visions..Making Decisions...Wrestling with Temptation...Should I eat this mamon?..etc..

I am not exaggerating but the truth is..the journey of a youth pastor's life is not a walk in the park..

It really is a STRUGGLE...Sometimes it's a WRESTLE..Many time it's like WAR..

But it's very cool and very fulfilling...and I can say way way way bigger than I am..

which is good..

Honestly, I won't trade it for anything in this world.

So welcome to my journey..A STRUGGLING one..but my hope is this..

My God's grace is always enough..His mercy will be my strength me throughout this journey..

Romans 15:30 says...

I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.

.........

I urge you..anyone who is reading this blog right now...by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my STRUGGLE by praying to God for me..

Welcome to the STRUGGLING YOUTH PASTOR BLOG :)
