If you like roller coasters, you might like church planting!I'm not sure I have ever experienced so many ups and downs in a single day.
Here's the run down:
down - terrible night of not much sleeping, a lot of thinking about church stuff
down - tuesday is staff meeting day at mabel white
UP - STAFF MEETING ONLY LASTED 35 MINUTES
down - i spent an hour and a half talking with my pastor about how much my pay was about to be cut (that was like the biggest down hill of the biggest roller coaster in the world - i think i might have even screamed!)
down - i wasn't sure how to react to what i was told
UP - GOOD TO HAVE A FRIEND YOU CAN TALK TO WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. GOT SOME GOOD LOOK LIKE JESUS ADVICE.
down - had to go back to my pastor and tell him i submit to his authority and the elders authority - God will take care of me and the fam.
down - did i mention i have this really bad, feverish spider bite? going to see a doc tomorrow - i think the poison is flesh eating - really hurts
UP - GOT A CALL FROM A FRIEND, A $400 CHECK CAME IN FOR NEW CITY.
UP - CHECKED MY MAIL AT THE OFFICE - $500 CHECK FROM SOMEONE ELSE (THAT'S $900)
UP - $282 OF ALL SORTS OF GOODIES THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE REST OF OUR NURSERY AND KIDS NEEDS FOR NOW
UP - THE BAND SOUNDED UNREAL TONIGHT - BEST NIGHT YET
Whew! What a day. And it isn't quite over - but I hope the ride for tonight is!
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12)
With a battle like this going on, you know its fixin to get good! (Cletus)
