The Next Phase

Life is just getting more and more exciting isn't it?

Church has just gone through major changes and it's super cool. We are really getting focused and at the same time preparing ourselves for the incredible growth that's coming. 1,400. Imagine that, 1,400 people in service at the end of the year. And what's more, is that this 1,400 people are people who are spiritual. Thinking about that I'm just so excited to see what comes at the end of the year!

Wells things have surely been amazing. We are still staying focused on youth, but now with the added dimension that Pastor How shared, we really are going to get our parents and families saved! Spiritual adoption, it's super cool and important.

When we adopt them, it means they are in our hearts, it's no longer just doing it, but you do it, because you care. You are not friendly, but you are a friend, and you are sincere about them. Not just as individuals, but like Pastor shared, about their family, their household. That what matters to them, also matters to you.

Also been reading the 4th dimension book and it's super powerful, really learnt alot about seeing things in the 4th dimension and pulling them into the 3rd dimension, which is the world that we live in. Writing them down specifically and praying for them specifically too. I think when you really pray like that, you can feel your faith increase and you can really see it, it's like it's incubated in you. You are pregnant with what you pray and you're just waiting for it to be birth!

Talked to one of my good friends for quite a bit today, was just talking about church, the future, about people and just sharing my heart and deep thoughts with them. And we both also agreed that we need to be honest with our leaders! I don't know how to put it, but I think we need to be able to come to a point, where our leader is our friend, but yet we respect them. I hope you know what I mean, cause I think sometimes it's a little hard to understand that point.

It's a place where we can be honest, sharing with them our real thoughts and feelings. Not those that we have thought through about whether we should or should not, but really just being honest and transparent with them. And also having fun with them too!

Just thought of this while writing this down. We really are going to the next place, phase, level. It's just exciting to see how God moves us. I love my life, ha!
