Our work is not to lay out plans and then plead for God to bless our directions. Rather it is to believe Jesus has the directions, believe him, and get on board with what he has going.
Blackaby and King's Experiencing God workbook of 20 years ago gave us a major and much-needed shift. We look for God's moves.
When we made such an adjustment, a new world of wonder opened for our congregation. So many things have developed; so many ministries begun. We didn't map them out. They seemed to show up on our doorstep.
When God is in the lead, the work seems to go so much easier. And we wonder why?
I, for one, will always need to improve in all my responsibilities. One that has blessed me beyond imagination is to do the work (John 6:29) that Father insists; believe in Jesus.

That's really tough for us control freaks. "Let go and let God" sounds so cliche (and can be misused), but it's so necessary.
Keep up the good work!
Grace and peace,

Right on! Our congregation experienced a God move yesterday that was a defining moment.
Open hearts to all God to move in and trusting Him enough to take the steps will shape and re-shape Christ Church in this area for generations to come! And, all over the world!
Thank you once more, Terry!! Your blog is a constant inspiration....I've been tweeting and face booking quotes from it!!
