3 Things I Want to Share With You

I’m so excited and overwhelmed right now that I can barely sit down to write. I have a million ideas and tasks racing through my brain that I’m struggling to focus (even more than usual!). So, here’s what I’m going to do…I’m going to write a few thoughts down that I’d LOVE to share with you…

#1 Celebrate Recovery 3 Year Anniversary—this happens TONIGHT (7p at New Life). Don’t know where that is? The address is 4102 Tabler Station Rd., Inwood, WV 25428. It’s going to be such an AMAZING night! Potluck dinner. Intense worship. Cardboard testimonies. A brief look at what’s happened this year, as well as, a look ahead at what’s the come! I want this happening RIGHT NOW, but have to wait until 7p tonight (6p for the potluck). There’s even a few surprises planned for tonight that’ll have you laughing hysterically! I can’t wait!

#2 Community—I’m believing more and more that we (you, me, everyone) fulfill the notion of being created in the IMAGE and LIKENESS of God when we are TOGETHER! I’m not interested in a theological debate; I’m interested in KNOWING you, BEING AROUND you, and doing this thing known as life WITH you. God created THEM in His image and likeness…THEM = more than one…THEM = people, not person. People matter. Get in a LifeGroup. Get in a Step Study. Come out to Celebrate Recovery. Start serving. The WHERE doesn’t matter, the WHO does. Open up your life to others and discover what it means to be in community.

#3 Kids Singing in Costumes = Somebody’s Gonna Cry—this Sunday, at New Life, our kids will be leading worship for the first time in…well…probably the first time since I’ve been here…and it’s going to be AWESOME! Be sure you arrive early. Be sure you clap LOUDLY. Be sure to take pictures. Support and encourage our children as they sing their little hearts out in celebration of the birth of little baby Jesus. Let’em know they matter! Let’em know you care! And who knows, maybe we’ll do it again sometime soon. Remember, kids are our future, they’re our RIGHT NOW!

Ok. Those are the 3 main things whirling around in my head and I already feel a little bit better sharing them with you. Thank you for letting me share.
