What an EPIC week! Weeks like this are rare indeed.
We had the Grand Opening for the church we have been so privileged to help start here in our hometown. It was crazy. Like awesome crazy. The only way I have been able to describe it to people is that it was "happy chaos". It wasn't chaotic because we weren't prepared. It wasn't chaotic because anything bad happened. It was chaos because over 910 people showed up...in an ice storm...in Arkansas. That might not seem like a big deal to you, but in our little River Valley paradise nestled between mountains and the Arkansas River, people just don't get out in the snow and ice.
And last night we launched our student ministries with an incredible night. It was so good.
So now I'm sitting here in my "mancave" enjoying the breather. I'm looking forward to my weekend (Friday & Saturday) and getting ready to start it all over again in less than 72 hours. Life is so stinking good right now. I feel blessed beyond my capacity to handle it. It pushes me in the best possible ways. And before I head upstairs to get some sleep I am just trying to share this inexplicable sense of gratitude I am feeling.
It's always good to be one of God's kids--but it doesn't always feel this good.
