Don’t Get Comfortable

The Action event today was great! We all pooled our spare change and had over $500 that we took to Wal-Mart and broke into groups of two. Each group had $62 to spend. We got book bags and filled them with things like notebooks (HSM ofcourse), colored pencils, crayons, glue, and a lot of other goodies that will help these kids with school. Ofcourse I think that Krista and I had the best bags. She knew where the hidden composition books were on the other side of the store!!! hehe

All in All it was a lot of fun… Great fellowship with everybody while helping out foster kids in our community.

OK… Canvasians… this is just the beginning of things to come. I have a few ideas up my sleeve and some really great things are in the works. We are not a church of comfortable people. We are going to be very visible in our community and hopefully unbelievers will notice that it’s not just about going to church on Sunday mornings. We ARE the church… let’s ACT accordingly!

Thanks to Jeremy for organizing this event and letting is Canvasians partner up with Selah! Here are a few highlights.

Tomorrow we are partnering with another group in Savannah called  Selah to go to Wal- Mart and buy school supplies to donate to Savannah CASA.

This man never ceases to amaze me. Take the next 4:45 and watch this all the way through. You will not be disappointed.

 

The Great Adventure

so… here’s the deal.

I haven’t been blogging a lot lately because I have had sensory overload in my head. That probably doesn’t make sense to anyone but me. But you chose to read my blog so you have to deal with my ramblings.

It just seems like I have been waiting for this time for so long. I moved down here so much earlier than everyone else and experienced a lot of impatience. Now, Doug & Shelly are here, we are having core group meetings and are planning the launch of this church in about 4 months. All the things that I couldn’t wait for but have gotten very anxious about. Not anxious in a bad way mind you. Anxious to the fact that God chose me. Why in all creation would he choose me to help with the church? 

I am still struggling with that. Everyday I wake up and I feel as though I have nothing to bring to the table of Canvas Church and then everyday God shows me something that I didn’t see before while making it more clear that I am doing His will.

I had a conversation with my roommate Austin tonight. He is helping with the React Conference at Bible Baptist Church this weekend. We had a great study about people in the bible who reacted to God. I am not going to give away his thoughts on the subject. But one of the things that stuck out in my mind after this study was…

How as Christ follower’s can we not react? 

so… as this adventure to transform a city continues I am going to stop making excuses that I am not worthy .

I am not going to wait for God to React to me, I am going to React to Him.

nothing fancy

I know I haven’t been blogging a lot lately, but I have a few in the works… Stay tuned.

I am currently sitting in the audio booth at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church using their internet and editing photos. I am staying for church and then heading home!

 

here are a few photos from Rick & Jo Lynn’s wedding on Saturday… It was beautiful. I am so happy for them!
