The meeting went very well! The congregation has been through some tough times, but now seems ready to heal. I think it will be a good thing.
I am beginning to think that my ministry in life is going to be going into congregations and loving them back to health. I seem to have been in congregations that have had some "difficulties." I hope I am able to have learned something at each of the places and will be able to bring that learning to the new places that I serve.

I can think of no finer calling than that which you state might be your ministry in life. It is a "ministry of reconciliation", very sound biblically and theologically. I also could not help but think that in this way God uses you as a part of his body (recall recent epistle lessons) and utilizes your gifts of both the present (pastoral) and the past (psychology). He has given you powerful spiritual gifts.
That is a commendable calling in life; to nurture sick things, heal them, and move onto others.
