As I rode to work today, listening to my ipod, many thoughts were flowing. Where do we go from here? What do we do now? I can't really answer either of those two questions in full, but I can tell you that we are going to apply Matthew 6:33...we are going to 'seek first the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you'. I have thought a lot and prayed more. Uncertainty is sometimes scary, but thankfully, while we do not know the future, we do know WHO holds it. The day was filled with conversations with people who want the very best for us and for the kingdom. As I left work tonight, headed for church, I was encouraged in the day. Moreover, I was encouraged by the kind words that been shared time and again as the day progressed. A part of me didn't really want to go tonight, but a part of me did. It is a bitter-sweet. To love a people so and to want the best for them, to not know what the future holds, and to realize that you will not be blessed to see many of these people on a regular basis. When I got there, I pulled up a chair between Jackie and Danny. Danny and wife, Kathryn have been 'our' deacon family ministry family for our entire time at Logan Road. Danny and Kathryn have been such an encouragement to us and our boys through the years. I told Danny & Kathryn tonight that they will always be our deacon family. We love & appreciate them. Danny said that he is excited to see what is next for us. So are we, but in that process of heading into the great adventure ahead of us, we must take some time to heal. While taking that time for healing, we will ride as much as possible and be involved with as many bikers and events as possible, always looking to see where the Lord is working that we might join Him in His work.
After church, we went with friends, Ryan & Angie to Roy & Jackie's then to Rodeo for some food and fellowship. Both were great. We are blessed to have such great friends and such great opportunities to share the love of Jesus.
We have a busy weekend ahead as we finish clearing out our possessions from our offices and serve our last Sunday at Logan Road. If you have nothing else to pray for, we appreciate your prayers for our beloved body. May the Lord be first and may the few who want legalism and things 'their way' be open to change that glorifies the Lord.
May we ALL place Him first and seek to know Him more!
