there was a period a few years back when i was pastoring in las vegas that i was losing my vision for where i was so i started sending out resumes to different district superintendents seeing if they had any church openings.
i remember coming down the hill into vegas from california where i had interviewed with a ds and seeing the lights and feeling the tug and knowing that my time wasn't up there. so i came home and talked with my people about the fact that we were in a rut and that we needed to spend some time in refocus. and that is what we did for the next eighteen months and it was exactly what we needed to do. and GOD used us for the next seven years in exciting and challenging ways.
what about you? how is your focus? maybe you just need a time of refocus so that GOD can energize you for that task HE has for you.
just a thought from the front porch...

I've done both. (1) resigned in order to re-start, and (2) re-focused. not sure which is easier. not that being easy makes something right. i guess it probably comes down to what the Lord is calling me to in that particular circumstance. the common denominator in either option is freshness. we have two choices: breathe new life in whatever we're doing, or give birth.
