There is an old saying in the ministry world... you are never someone's pastor until they tell you that you are. The Bishop cannot make you someone's pastor... only the love in your heart, only your ability to connect with the people will cause them to call you "pastor."
My Dad had a saying. It is now my saying. It is found in many of the world's religions... "those who say, don't know. those who know, don't have to say."
Be yourself. Keep your identity in check. Do your job. Love the people. Then, in time, they will call you pastor. And you will be, indeed.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to be the good.
