Good Ole Fashioned Freaking out LOL


So i was reading perry nobles blog and he had been reading acts chapter two.. WELL i happen to love acts since about 6 months ago or more God spoke to me through act 18:9-10...I had been struggling with wondering if God was in what we are doing at ridge pointe or if it was all about us!! b/c if that was the case then i wanted to quit for sure LOL so i was like "GOD you better speak and speak in red b/c i need to hear from you...well i opened up the bible and put my finger right down on acts chapter 18:9 -10WOW...Did i need to hear it or what! so i have been STROKING LOL about ya know the launch and all freaking about it...This is the emergent Christian's way of worrying :) like being concerned is a traditional church goers form of worry just all cleaned up! :) yeah well mine is the crazy version!! AHHHHHH! is not even close to how i feel...excited and throw up feeling all in the same breath!!! Ok so i can hear you all say (CLEARING THROAT) (speaking in a deep religious voice) (morgan freeman's voice preferably) LOL "The bible tells us not to worry and to put our trust in GOD and he will do the rest!!" SO yeah thanks got that one!!! but until you have walked in a church planter's shoes there is nothing to compare to the anticipation of what is in store or what God is doing...You are truly Indiana Jones Stepping out onto the Edge of nothing and trusting a path to show!!! So God has brought us to here today and i am telling I don't even know how He has done it thus far only to say it was God and He is awesome that way...Because otherwise!!! I would have already packed up and left a long time ago! or not even started but rather ran away like the cowardly lion in wizard of oz...(LOVE THAT MOVIE) that lion is awesome :)
But God is in control not us!!!!So i am left with the encouragement from my own amazing husband, pastor and best friend...When you have done all you can do..then stand!!!

So Today!!!! i stand...I stand on the promises of GOd!!! He is OUR amazing father! He never fails!!!!!
