...Here comes July!!!
I have been so blessed! I am starting a new church, caring for my beautiful family and playing a lead role in the Wizard of Oz. Everyone of these endeavors makes me smile, but they also have another effect...they have wrecked my calendar in the best of ways!!!
With Harvest Cry last month and all of the stuff that comes along with church ministry, I sometimes lose track of what is really important. My family has been so patient during this time as I have stretched myself in ways I couldn't have even imagined a year ago. As a part of the Wizard of Oz, I have been able to gain 150 new friends in one, fell swoop and things are really cruising on that end.
The church plant is running on all cylinders and sometimes I can't even believe how faithful God has been to us as we step out in faith! He has helped us raise over $32,000 that we will need to be eligible for ARC funding as well as an additional $29,000 in tithes and offerings to meet our monthly expenses! Thank you, Father!!
With all my talk about time management and frugality/sensible ministry commitments, I gotta say that I have loved the "mess" that has been a result of this time of stretching. I have gained new friends and challenged my old ideas of what ministry is like, all at the same time! Granted, I won't be able to keep this pace up forever, but August is comin' baby! Let's go vacation time!!!
