If call is to grapple with what I believe, to understand to whom I am responsible and to tug at what I serve than ministry must be defined.
Ministry at it's core, for me, is the willingness of a person to hold onto the hope, joy, creation, love, and the holy in the midst of life, everyday. Sometimes those moments are for yourself and the great whatever, sometimes they are for a gathering, sometimes they are held onto in the midst of a struggle to remember possibility when others are drowning in the fears of life, ... Holiness is what you are aware of and ministry is what you bring forward because of that awareness.
