I am so excited about all that has happened in the 24 hours leading up to the Armada Fair. Even at the cost of some people getting little to no sleep last night, this is going to be worth it all. There are dozens of volunteers lined up, stuff to hand out, a great looking booth, etc. It’s going to be worth all the hard work.
Let me rephrase to be more accurate. The last 24 hours have been insane. Hectic. Tense. Head scratching. Dynamic. Loud. Not mean or bad, just in a "Om my goodness, lets finish everything right away" mode as a very quick plan had to finish 24 hours early when we were told Friday that we had to be ready Tuesday morning and not Wednesday.
"Going" to reach our community. It has been about 4 years since I felt this church feel comfortable going out to reach the community. Kristen and I move 2000+ miles to a little town north of Detroit because God wanted us to join forces with people equally insane about doing the impossible… in a lot of ways "it’s time" to start fulfilling that mission. A reason most churches don’t do anything about the 90%+ people who walk daily away from God is because they don’t care enough to "go." The major reason I am so excited about the next 6 days is that we, the church, are going. We’re not hiring "go-ers" and we’re not expecting others to magically "go" for us. We are going.
And it will be fun!
