Honored

There are moments when the sheer honor of all I get to be a part of overwhelms me.

How can I, at a mere 28 years old, somehow get to help architect the entire discipleship and leadership structures of a church? How can I get to be a part of a church that so evidently is experiencing God's grace and favor through no true effort of our own? How is it that God could see me as having something pivotal to offer and contribute to the ways that He's bringing people to know and serve Him?

I just returned from a 24-hour planning retreat with our pastors and my other council members. It was great to get to spend extended time with these people - to share life and ideas, to pray together, to create plans and processes and to emerge with a unified vision to prepare for the future growth we know we'll experience in the coming months.

All the details are exciting...even the ones we don't have figured out yet.

But, that's all beside the point right now. I just can't believe that I get to be a part of this....and that at some point, years from now, the ripple effect of these last 24-hours will be bigger than we can even imagine right now. What in the world....
