oops…forgot to post this yesterday!
Okay…I got busy and forgot…here is yesterdays’ (Tuesday) accounting–
Good Morning! Hope your day is going well…we are checking in with you today to update you on our progress and countdown to the move this coming Sunday for City Worship Centre.
So, this is day 5 and we are excited to wake up to beautiful weather here in central Texas-Thank you Lord! The tent was secured and anchored yesterday (in the pouring rain) and is ready for the next phase. Man, when you stand under it…the thing that catches your eye is the enormity of it! It really is quite a bit bigger than our building and we will be able to seat 350 comfortably.
We really do need to have a few days of good weather to “catch up” with our plans but the weather reports aren’t favorable. They are saying we could have more rain and storms Wed/Thursday so we shall see. Pray for good weather! We need several days to dry out before putting the carpet down and the trussing up for lighting.
The offices are almost completely back to normal and are located in the log cabin. Yesterday, the guys were working in the children’s building. We are putting some storage areas in and also fixing a place for Ms Vikki to run some of the music/choir classes. We will continue in there today, waiting for the ground to dry out under the tent.
Yes, it is a huge project but we have some of the most incredible people, church members and students, who work tirelessly to see this part of the dream come to pass. Speaking of seeing, Let me remind you of a passage from Genesis 15 where God takes Abraham outside of his tent to see–
5 He took him outside and said, “Look up at the heavens and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” 6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
Friends, sometimes, we just have to have a different perspective. The thing God has called us to is bigger than we can really see and it must be viewed from God’s perspective! What has He called you to? Does it seem bigger than you? Remember that the heavenly perspective is what we need to keep focused on!
The land for us is not the end all—it’s only the beginning. It’s the opportunity to touch more people, train more people, reach more people, save more people! If we just set our sights on getting on the land, we miss the bigger picture.
As we agree in prayer today, let’s agree that we keep the heavenly perspective and remember that God is “PRO-VISION!” He is El Shaddai, our Provider, He is more than enough! “Thank you Lord, that all of our needs are met in you today, by Christ Jesus—Amen!”
Blessings for today—will write more tomorrow…stay tuned!
