The Journey of a Lifetime... One Step at a Time

We had another great Leadership-Team Meeting today... It's all starting to click as we can see the goal coming more & more into focus. It's great to hear the heated, passionate debate by passionate people who are united by a common goal: to make fully-devoted followers of Christ!

Don't misunderstand me... We're still a long (VERY long) way from that goal, but each day we take another step and move that much closer to the prize before us! (Did I mention that we're still a long way off?) Every time we meet, I can feel the momentum building, the expectation rising, & the excitement increasing... We really are on this journey together, & it's amazing to see it all happening!

One day, we're going to look back at all of these lunch meetings & say, "Remember when this all started... Back around the tables in the Fellowship Hall? Wow! Who would've ever thought it would lead to all of this?"

Next month we will be taking a HUGE step forward as we begin presenting our discipleship process to the church for the first time... I can't wait to see the excitement build as the vision explodes in their hearts & they "get it." This is what CLC has been waiting, longing, & hoping for!

This truly is the journey of my lifetime (& for generations to come!), & we're walking it out the only way we can... One step at a time.

It's hard work, but it sure is fun!!
