We just had our second CORE meeting for the plant, and I gotta tell you, it was SO good. Once again we ate together and worshipped, and then we got a picture of God’s heart for us. Those of you supporting us with prayer, thank you, thank you, thank you. The group spent much of the night praying for each other and speaking into each other’s lives. We were reminded of the weight that comes with looking to do something like this, but also the immense freedom found in Him. He doesn’t long for programs, although He can use them, what God longs for is our hearts in real authentic relationship with Him. Our calling in this community is to point to Him. And we were all reminded again that He’s still doing a work in all of us, preparing us as it were, for His plans and purposes. Along with that was a word for Joanie and I, that God loves our obedience better than sacrifice. It was personally a very deep word, and I cannot help but think that it was for the whole group as well. Yes there is and will be sacrifices as we step into this, but the thing that pleases the heart of God is our obedience in following where He’s called us to go, and what He’s called us to do.
Next time we meet we’ll still eat, worship, and open the floor up (so to speak J) but we might also start talking about some dates and line out some intentional plans. Please be in prayer for us, that we are lead by the Spirit and in His will.
