About Rev. Myron Jones

I always wondered what I was going to be when I grew up. As I grew older it seemed that everyone else knew what they were supposed to be doing but I just did whatever came along. I felt something vital was missing from my life. If this is all there is, why am I here? Surely, I have some purpose.

I was 50 years old before I finally figured out that I wanted to be a minister when I grew up. I started working on it and though that ego voice was loud and strident as it demanded to know what I thought I was doing, suddenly deciding at such a late date that I want to be a minister,  I also heard this calm still Voice that assured me I was doing exactly what I was supposed to do.

I love being a minister of God. Finally, my life feels right. I am doing what I came here to do. I mention this because perhaps someone who reads this may find themselves at a crossroads and will be wondering if it is too late. They may wonder if they waited too long and now they are too old to start something new. In my moments of doubt, as ego I would find myself counting on my fingers; “Let’s see, if I finish my courses in three years, I will be be 53 years old and if I keep my senses for awhile and my health holds out that will give me 10 maybe 15 years. Can I do any good with such a little time?”

Well, the Holy Spirit assured me that I had all the time I need to do whatever needed to be done. I kept at it and now I am so glad and so joyful. So, I suggest that whether you think yourself young or old, take Spirit’s hand and follow His directions. Don’t waste another moment of your life following the wrong voice!
