Vision
I have found myself lately telling people to, "focus on what you KNOW and not what you don't know." You can and should act on what you know. What you don't know includes your guesses, fears, anxieties, questions and theories. Your guesses might be right, and they might not be, but what you know is something you can stand on! It is too overwhelming, and not very helpful, to focus on all the questions and possibilities. It's just too big. We need to hold on tight to what we know and then build from there. What you know can actually help you navigate what you need to know next. You don't know what tomorrow brings, but you know that today you need to be a person of grace. You don't know where that money is coming from or what you're going to do about that problem person, but you know that God is good. You don't know what the test result will be, but you know that God has put good people in your life. You don't know what will happen with this pandemic, but you know that the talking tree in Halifax is the thing of nightmares. By focusing on what you know, even if it is a horrifying tree, grounds you, helps you process and makes you more aware of what God is saying to you right now. If you're feeling lost or overwhelmed, take time to write down what you know, and go from there. |
Wins
1. Our Coffee House last Friday was a huge success! We had way more people than we expected, the atmosphere was really cool, the music was incredible, people were able to chat and have good conversations the entire time, the coffee and treats were great, and we brought in over $300 for our Christmas Wrap-Up! 2. We set out the sign-up sheet for the Christmas food boxes on Sunday, and I think we now have every box taken care of! (if you signed up to fill a box, remember to have it in by Dec 15th!) 3. We are seeing our ministry leaders become more comfortable leading, and increasing in their skills and confidence! 4. We held our annual Christmas is the Worst event last Saturday and we were able to make meaningful connections and provide resources that otherwise wouldn't have been available! |
