Milestones should be celebrated ~ Don't have much time to stop though
Encouragement is important, it gives us the energy to press forward especially when the enemy comes at us and is contantly trying to discourage us from our purpose.
About a week ago I blogged about the buzz of a new series called http://www.mynakedpastor.com/.
I could sense an excitement from the staff, the teamwork of everyone getting ready to launch this series, that God was about to do something special. Well, special He did...
This week at Flamingo we are celebrating that for the first time 8056 people were a part of the weekend services. Each one of those numbers represents a life, a life that God is pursuing to find Him for the first time, to come back home to Him, to grow to add more attributes of His Son each day, to determine the gifts He has given them to use for Him, to repent, to seek forgiveness from Him or someone important in their life, to find peace that passes all understanding.
A cool part of the celebration is that He uses me, he uses us, he uses people to fulfill His purposes. Insecure, sinful, not sure if we have the abilities to do this, people. What a privilege.
I have seen God have His hand on FRC for the past 17 years, He has a purpose for His house to reach the people of South Florida and beyond. The milestones just get sweeter, because to get their does get easier when you see that perservance and obedience are all that He is asking. He goes above and beyond our expectations...at 10am we thought it was 7K (note the number on the cake) but by the afternoon we had learned it was 8K. Now we each have to do our part to help those 8K find their niche in the purpose and plan for FRC to help reach out to the next 8K!
