...Starting to feel like one of those parents who still counts their kids age in months when their like 5...'oh ya, little Timmie's 67 months old today...'
maybe we're gettin' somewhere...
maybe we're not where we use to be...
...lessons from sunday.
I don't look like that picture...
'Cause if I did, I'd need a reality check. Serious.
...planting a church is hard, lonely work. But if we don't do it for (G)lory than we do it for (g)lory. The reason is bigger then us. It's for the teaching and equipping the saints for the work of the Kingdom...in other words we do it so people will learn to love Jesus more and help those around them realize that they love Jesus too.
That's what keeps us going, week-in and week-out. (Without starting to look like that)
Ya'know, two weeks in and I'm realizing how much easier life is when you have good people backing you up....it's nice to play on your own every once in a while, but what a difference it makes in the immersivness of the music...not to mention the impact and the Worship that can happen when people feel immersed in the music.
...our church is 'growing'...
...two reasons.
1. People are starting to call this church home. Didn't think about that when we started this thing. It's cool to watch people start to invest in this thing we do.
2.People are starting to grow...watchin' people gain confidence and trust in their faith and themselves is really fun...to sit back and appreciate how people are starting to develope in their faith and understanding of the Gospel message in their lives.
...Worship is good...
The more I shake the dust off this life of worship, the more I re-discover the joy that comes with it the more I want to infect people with what Worship can be.
It's learning that worship isn't just singing, it's praying, playing, participating, propagating(!), and prognosticating...
...so press on, friend, to that which you were called to do and make the most of every opportunity you have...
You only have one today.
M.
