See It Coming

WOW..WOW...WOW! How in the world can you really explain it!! 36 families chose to "vote early" and give their ALL IN Dream220 commitments last week. 36 families have committed, over a 3 year period, to give "over and above" their regular giving, $462,448.48!!!!! No way do you put that on paper and explain it...we're only three years old. Amazing! There's only one explanation...it's God.

The thing that's messin' with me the most is that these people didn't give to a "building" or even, a project. They gave to a vision...a dream...God's dream for this church and this community. I just can't imagine all that God's gonna' do with a group of people who choose to give him their heart! But, we are gonna' find out...because that's exactly what's happening right in front of our eyes!

This weekend is COMMITMENT WEEKEND. God just wants my heart...he is drawing us to himself for the purposes of revealing himself to a lost and dying world. It's happening...he is doing a miracle. "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this." Psalm 37:5

"Father, continue to open the eyes of our hearts...let us see your hope...your plan...your purpose. Open our eyes and let us see the fullness of your riches...you own it all...you are one very generous God! And, Father, don't hold back...open up our eyes, our hearts, our minds, our spirits, not only to see, but to fully embrace and walk in your incomparable, unlimited, and immeasurable power."
