Elevate is going well and I am learning tons about myself (not always a good thing, but definitely growing through it). I am in the middle of a book called the Barbarian Way and totally want to live like that- radically in love with Jesus. My friend Rachel made a comment to me once that I can never get out of my head: "So many people are willing to die for Christ, but so few want to live for Him." I think about that as I do the mundane day to day to do's. Am I waiting "until..." before I begin doing radical things for God. I want to lay down every night and know that today I gave Christ my everything and let Him live in me this day.
This month has simply flown by with so much going on at HPC.
We had a miracle offering for a new highland road sanctuary (called the "arena") that we are building in the back of the current property and that was really exciting. They had a countdown on the website and the anticipation was the best part of it all. When I was walking on the property I started to think about the future and that my grandchildren may grow up in this building. Generations I won't even meet will have fellowship in the cafe. It is truly incredible to think what God is going to do through that.
We also had fall fest which was such fun! And Joyce Meyer came to speak. Awesome times here in the BR!
This month is bringing the holidays to focus and once again I think about how little I need and how much I have been blessed with. I am hoping that this remains my focus and I don't get sucked into the commercialism of it all. I want this season to be about fires in the fireplace, cider, classic Christmas music,good food and tons of baking! For an alternative gift giving idea, Children's Cup (the organization I went to Swaziland with) is putting on a Christmas for the Kids that you may want to give to. Check out the info here.
