4 hour staff meeting??

Wow! We literally had a four hour staff meeting today at invigorate. planning, planning and more planning. There is soooo much going on this year! I get really excited looking ahead at the awesome things I get to be a part of. We are going to try and finish up the meeting tomorrow (no we didn’t finish). It’s funny though, I noticed today that our staff meetings are really enjoyable. I acually look forward to them! So what’s the longest meeting you’ve ever been in? This is not the longest for me, but none the less it would be interesting to hear your comments.

Living in Your Box

I have been talking a lot lately with friends about the fact that we limit God SO much. We need to stop thinking so small and wanting God to fit into what we think our life or ministry should look like and start thinking BIG! We have a box in our life we do everything within that box. Our thoughts, ideas, ideas creativity, church’s, friends etc. are all in that box. We think to ourselves, “I can’t think outside of this box because there is no point, I don’t have the resources to pull off anything outside this box and I don’t want to be disappointed thinking outside this box because it probably will never happen. STOP RIGHT NOW!!! Do we serve a limitless God? A God of blessings that can resource us with everything that we ever dreamed of in a split second? I believe we do.

So Let me pose this question. If God were to put in your hands right now all the resources, money and time that you needed to accomplish exactly what he has placed in your heart, would you be able to do it? I say it’s very unlikely. Because you are still living in that box. The problem is the dream that God placed in your heart isn’t in that box so when he gives the resources, money and time to fulfill this purpose your not going to know what to do!

We have to live like we have all the resources we need to accomplish what God has called us to do. If we do this, then, when God drops those in our lap it won’t surprise us. We can pick them up with confidence and hit the ground running. I once had someone tell me, “If God has placed in your heart it’s already in your hands”. So… If you had all the resources, money and time you wanted what would you be doing for the kingdom of God right now? THINK BIG let God do the rest!!

No Baby yet!!

So, Charity and I are waiting for Baby #3 to arrive. We had a friend of ours tell us that when you start referring to your children as numbers you’ve had too many!  Charity’s due date is tomorrow and we have absolutely no action down there. It’s interesting thinking that we don’t have any family here to help us with this baby. But, we have a great church and they’ll pick up that slack for us.  Charity feels as good as she has felt the whole pregnancy but, we are definitely getting anxious. I’ll keep you posted with any further happenings.
