I am thankful … Thankful to see God’s people pulling together!! God’s kingdom, working together to build HIS name, not ours!!
This week, I’ve seen this in two powerful ways. The first was a luncheon I attended yesterday for the Florence School District One Faith Based Initiative. I was gathered with other pastors and school administrators all across our school district as we discussed ways for our churches to make a difference. I have much respect for Dr. Brooks as an educator and a Godly man … we are fortunate to have him at the helm right now. I am encouraged as I see God at work and churches bridging gaps to make a difference. I look forward to the work EBC will do at Sneed and at Royall.
Another powerful way I see this is in the testimonies of God’s power at work in the lives of EBC members. PLEASE KEEP SHARING WITH ME!!! I LOVE IT and it fuels me to press on! God is doing so much in the lives of EBC folks and when I see Him at work, it really does infuse a shot of much needed power in me!!
On the tv show “The A-Team,” one of my favorite parts of the show was always at the end when Hannibal would light his cigar and say “I love it when a plan comes together.” Today I am starting to know what that feels like!!!! (Quick … somebody get me a cigar!)
