gather, grow, go. . . all to the glory of G*d

we've gathered. we're growing. preparing to go.
and while we do this, we glorify him every step of the way.
how do we do this?
spend time with him. lots and lots of time.

and prepare.

this week support letters go out. let's be pr*ying about how he will be providing and that folks will walk along side us as we go.

we are meeting this week and preparing our skits for the talent show night. nothing worse than getting there and not having any ideas (crickets chirping). so we prepare and gather our props!

everyone is gathering their favorite w*rship songs so we can prepare effective devo time. yeah!

thanks to damon for reminding me of the G3 4 the G2

a little drama, but what's life without drama?

it's been a weird week, and i'd be lying if i said i understood what exactly is going on. . . i could blame it on the enemy, but then that would mean that i don't really bear any responsibility to what has transpired. . .
however. . .
it's a long story and i won't go into details, but let me at least share a few little life lessons. . .
a) communication is such a good thing. in fact, i'm pretty sure that one can't overcommunicate.
b) drama is best left alone to wither and die in a corner by itself.
c) trying to push things to suit my own desires has the net effect of spitting into the wind. yuck.
d) trusting and relying on God. . . you just know that God is up there going, "yeah, how about that? DUH!"
e) open hands. this is not my deal or my team's deal, but HIS deal. HIS! so hello. . . let go and let HIM hold it! (again, another head-slapping DUH)
so a bit of a weird week, but i'm thinking that learning to get on the ole knees and be listening and trusting Him a bit more. . . well, i can imagine that this is a good thing!

we have tickets. so that means we're really going. and that means i have over $14,000 on my american express card. yikes!
so i better get writing.
support is such a wonderful act of believing in the one who sends us... but it is so incredibly difficult to ask.
yes... we're going. will you join us?
