I have been realizing a problem in the area of pastoral care in my ministry. And as I self diagnose, what I realize is that I'm too optimistic. I tend to believe the best in people, and what I'm finding is that people are often struggling, in need of spiritual care long before I realize it. Then weeks pass. all the while I'm thinking too optimistically about how they're doing, only to realize it and have a huge time gap to work against. I working through a new model of pastoral care that will be more proactive.
