Tonight we have our next strategy meeting. We will focus on how we do series development- the creative process from an idea to the actual service. How do we get people in the process, how do we prioritize, how do we take into consideration the different "seasons" of the year and "seasons" in people's lives, how do we streamline our graphics, promotion, printed literature, website, etc? It will be great to discuss these and many more questions.But what might be even more exciting for me will be just seeing who comes out to join the discussion. I'm amazed so often at the talents that are hiding out there. Skills people have and are willing to share- if only they have the opportunity. I have been pleasantly surprised many times over to find that when I ask, the right person is found. It's confirmation that we are moving in the right direction. It's also confirmation that God is leading our efforts.
Daily I still try to maintain the balance of following God's lead and doing the work of launching a church. I've written before ho there's a difference between making your plans and asking God to bless them, and looking for God's blessing and going with the plan. Sometimes the distinction is clear. Most days it's a fine line. Gathering like tonight's meeting help me to discern. When God puts some talent right before you it pretty clear- instruct, empower, and release the person to do what they do.
