Overwhelmed With Gratitude

I just realized that it has been almost 1 year since my last entry...sure doesn't seem like that long ago. I suppose I have been a bit busy with my second pregnancy, trying to figure out how to mother two children, and still have time for each day's tasks. Regardless, I'm sitting here writing an entry with a smile on my face because, well, blogging makes me happy. Yesterday marked a very important day in my life (besides it being the 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, which I am in no way ignoring because I acknowledge the impact the event had on everyone and pray that we never forget about it). Yesterday, Dave and I got voted in as the Senior Pastors of Living Hope Church in Indianapolis, IN! This was an answer to one of our prayers that we have been praying about for over a year now. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude towards the people of LHC who are putting their confidence in us, but mostly unto God for opening up this door of opportunity for us.

It is so flooring to think that every event in ministry that we have experienced thus far, might just have been preparing us to pastor this church.

What if this is what we were created for? Have you ever thought about that? Have you ever asked yourself: What is the specific purpose of me being alive on this earth? Besides the obvious Christian responses like "to worship Him," "to tell others about Jesus," "to fulfill the great commission," What about more specifically? What could God be specifically preparing you for right now? Makes you think... Ok, enough deep? thoughts for the night. For those of you interested, our church's website is: www.LHCindy.com We're hoping to have it updated this Fall. Our first official Sunday on staff is Sunday, October 2, 2011. We are looking forward to what God has in store for both us and the Lawrence/Oaklandon community of Indianapolis!
