Well I'm back...my break was good...slept a lot, ate some, played and read some, helped out at home and at church, that's pretty much it. In the four weeks I was home I was privileged/blessed to be able to sing in the Christmas Cantata(when I sang I had only practiced it once) I preached four times, did a teen activity and taught four teen SS lessons. It was a blast! Three kids moved up to the teen class this year and three left when our pastor moved to another church...they were his kids so they kinda had to go...so the numbers are still the same. About 8 depending on the Sunday. Anyway, so now I am back at school working crazy hours again as usual not knowing my plans beyond the end of this semester.
As a Pastoral Studies Major, I must do an internship to graduate. Where or when or with whom (who/whom??) I have no idea but I have till March to decide so what's the big hurry??
As we begin another semester and year, I am reminded again of a passage of Scripture that holds a reminder we need often. "But Mary has chosen that one needful thing." What is that one needful thing? Look it up and rediscover it for yourself. The reference is Luke 10:42. Happy reading!:)
About Me
- Stephen Harder
- I was born in American Falls, ID. I've lived in Washington most of my life. I got saved when I was 8 and answered the call to become a pastor when I was 10. In my mid-teen years, because of some things going on in my own life, I convinced myself that there was no way I was cut out for the ministry nor was I qualified. I was set on having a cabin in the mountains and removing myself from society as much as possible. I decided some Bible college would be good though, especially since Mom and Dad wanted me to go for at least one year. So I came to Northland when I was 20. I decided to major in Camp Ministries because I thought it sounded fun. But deep down inside I couldn't ever see myself at a camp. Furthermore, I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to change my major. Camp Ministries was not what I was supposed to do. Through a series of events that would take up more space than I have here, I changed my major to Pastoral Studies at the end of my Sophmore year. And it's a blast! I love it. And God has called me into the ministry.
