I Can’t Sleep…

I can’t sleep because I’m simply overwhelmed by the goodness of God…

Just moments ago, my sweet Chloe Grace (age 7) prayed to receive Jesus and committed her heart and life to Him! We’ve always been very intentional about pointing our kids to Jesus and the Gospel, but have also been very intentional about letting them discover their own need for salvation without pressure from us. Tonight she simply said she was ready! She began to cry as she told me about her sin and her need for Jesus. Jennifer and I just confirmed her understanding and reinforced scripture… Then she prayed. Now I can’t sleep and the angels in Heaven are rejoicing!

Also, today was the 2 year anniversary of our very first Vision Gathering for Terra Nova Church and it was this week last year that I first visited our current church building. To say that God has done the impossible is an understatement! He certainly has proven Ephesians 3:20-21 to be true… To Him who is able to do immeasurably more than we can think, ask, or imagine!

Tonight we celebrated with our staff and leadership team…

However, wouldn’t you know it… Half of our team was late! Why? It’s because they have the hearts of Jesus… They stopped on the interstate to help a single mom with car trouble! Thank you God for such an awesome team! Sadly, I have never been part of such a selfless group of people!

During our time together I shared the things I’m excited about as we head into 2012. As I think about all the ways I see God at work I just get overwhelmed because I’m so unworthy! God is going to use small groups and worship in a HUGE way this coming year at Terra Nova… Hold on… It’s going to be an amazing journey!

Jennifer and I are SUPER EXCITED about the 20/20 Vision! Be watching for more info! This photo will soon make much more sense!
