What a day!

It is not very often that we celebrate a Monday, but today is worthy of celebration...

Several months ago, we came together as a church body and shared a night of vision casting. God revealed that we are to be a church that reaches and has an impact on families. Everyone there felt God's urging to be a community-based church intent on revival happening in our homes, our families and our schools. We also recognized that there was much work to be done. God has already started these works and we are just now catching up. Today was a day just to sit in awe of what He is doing and it has been inspiring to watch as He puts the pieces in place according to His will...

The day started with a meeting to begin organizing a Pregnancy Resource Center for Liberty Hill. God absolutely had the right people in the room to begin and we have an initial plan to organize the opening of the Liberty Pregnancy Resource Center. We will hold our first community-wide organizational meeting on September 23 at a place to be announced. We will begin assembling teams and organizing work groups. The plan is to open the LPRC in January 2009. Click here to see what a Pregnancy Resource Center offers and pray about your involvement.

The day ended with a meeting in which we put a loose framework in place to begin a Celebrate Recovery program through Fellowship Baptist Church. We will be sending several people to a leader's course at Saddleback Church in California in August. When the leaders return, we will begin training team leaders and sponsors and we look for the first meeting to be the first week in November.

I am so excited to be a part of the work God is doing. I am continuously amazed at His providence. First, I see the people He has assembled in our community and at Fellowship and I know there is a plan. Then, I see how He causes things to happen - good things - that allow us to carry out His plan. We have an awesome and mighty God!

On a side note, I realized about 30 minutes ago that we are childless tonight...Connor is at soccer camp, Kenna is at the Jr. High camp, and Hannah is spending the night with the Ogden's...therefore, Cristina and I are going to have a date at someplace that doesn't serve chicken nuggets...

May God bless you!
