Well, It has been a year since we began this journey, and WOW. How do I put this into words? How do I explain this year in a few sentences. As I sit here and ponder what we have done this year I see how God's hand has been in it all. I think of when Jesus ask the disciples who he was and Peter answered that he was the son of God. The Jesus said to Peter "on this rock I will build my Church and the Gates of Hades will not prevail against it." I love how he tells Peter "I will build my church. This just shows me that it isn't me or anything the we try to do, but in all of it is God who builds his Church.
So here we are about to enter the second year of this church plant in Martensville. We are excited, I have never been more excited about ministry in my life. Someone once told me that Church planting is a lonely,and hard road to walk down. I can't lie there are times of uncertainty, times where I ask myself is this what God wants us to do. But those are out weighted by those times where God confirms that we are suppose to be here, and the joy that goes along with that. We have met many new friends and those friendship have been developed over some of the funniest times. (games night, wing night, ufc)
Here is a thought for you.....
There has been a question that I have been wrestling with lately. It hit me last week as I was helping at Horizon bible college and getting the dorms ready for the new bible school students. When was the last time you made a friend? a real friend? and I thought, what a question? How often do we put ourselves out there? and make ourselves vulnerable enough to let someone in. So my question is, Are you willing to make yourself vunerable?
Blessings
and
Love your neighbor as your self
