If you would've asked me six months ago where we'd be today, I'm not sure what I would've said. But I do know what I wouldn't have said: "Here."
For 7 1/2 years, God has burned in our hearts & minds that He wants to use CLC to save lost people, then train & equip them to reach multitudes of other lost people here in New Orleans. At the same time, however, we have had a sober concern that if God started sending them, we weren't ready to handle them.
If I was going to describe my overall attitude about it in one word it would be this one...
Can't.
But something happened last week.
As I was praying about some of the final details of our growth process, it hit me: "We're not only ready now... We're gonna do it!"
This went past being just a casual change of perspective or some fit of wishful thinking... This realization--there's a better way to put it--this revelation just hit me in the gut & consumed every bit of me!
In one moment... In one breath... That "Can't" I'd been feeling for so long became "Gonna!"
