Change is Comin'

Happy New Year! So many people take the beginning of the year to make changes in their lives, I guess it's a good time to start something new--at the beginning. I've never been one for making resolutions, perhaps it's my inability to focus on anything for too long, honestly, I usually just forget! And most resolutions are things we don't want to do anyway, so why do it!

This year though, we're not making any resolutions per say, but we are making some changes. My family is venturing out on a new adventure. Actually, we're not totally new to this adventure but the way we are going about it is new. We are planting a new church. We are going to host a video church. If you are not familiar with a video church, you may be thinking that we are a little crazy! Honestly, we can tell that many of our friends and those we are leaving behind at the church we have been attending for the past 3 years, think we have lost our minds! Maybe we have, but we truly feel that God is calling us to do this, NOW! The cool thing about a video church is that so many people can benefit from an incredible speaker that is hundreds of miles away. It is so much more than a bunch of people watching TV together! We will totally be able to care and love for the people that come, we are praying hard for people to come and meet Jesus--that's the ultimate goal!

We start this Sunday! Crazy I know! We are both freaked out and incredibly excited about this! So we are praying for people, please pray with us that God would bring us people--people who have a love and passion to reach other people, and people who need to meet Jesus!

I'll keep you posted as see what God has for us on this adventure! Can't wait to see where God takes us!!! Hold on!!!

What if...

We never went through the dreaded "why" phase with our children when they were little, however, we had one that incessantly asked "what if...?" That was about as bad as "why", because he would set up scenarios that we would have to think through to figure out an answer. In the end, we started asking him "what if?" to make him think about how that situation would turn out, it did curtail some of the questions.

But how often do we truly ask what if? What if we go in this direction? What if we stay where we are? What if we choose this? What if we choose that? There are so many what if's in life, it can be a bit unsettling if you look at them all at once.

Let me throw this out into the world of what if's...What if we truly trusted God and did what He told us to do? What if we just obeyed, instead of, wanting all the answers right now before we get out of the boat? What if Christians dared to get out there and reach people?

What if...?
