One Year!!!! at Friday, October 02, 2009

I was at starbucks yesterday and I looked down at my phone and it hit me like a ton of bricks I have been at my church for one full year. It was a year ago yesterday that I started at Grace Community Church in Flower Mound, Texas. My daughter was sixteen days old while we moved back to Texas. Was this the best time to move probably not, but was this a move spurred on by God? YES! I interned at this church so the good thing was I already knew the pastor, the people, and the culture. I look back and see that God has been so good to the children @ Grace. Here are the things that we have seen since coming to Grace a year ago yesterday.

1. Kids come and worship God throughout the service.

2. We have seen kids get saved for the first time

3. We have seen kids get filled with the Holy Spirit

4. We have kids getting a burden to see the lost saved

5. Kids excited about coming to kids church

6. We have brought in 4 families since coming to Grace

7. We have added a Sidewalk Sunday School that reaches the city of lewisville

8. We are almost fully staffed in the children's department

9. Parents see the need for their kids coming to kids church

I am probably missing a few things, but this list excites me every time I look at what God has done and what God is doing then I am so amazed and humbled to think that God would use me because I am so far from being anything. I am so excited for our next year at Grace. I have already felt a huge burden for all of next year and it's going to take an act of God for it all to get done, but that why it's a God Vision instead of a man vision because with God it will happen. How many of you have look over your year at being at your church and see what God has done, but most important what God is still doing.
