It is literally overwhelming what all God is putting in our path right now.
Overwhelming can be a good and bad thing. Right now, it's both. We are overwhelmed with blessing as well as overwhelmed with 'curse'.
We are in the midst of starting something new in our city and meanwhile Satan is fighting it. He is tugging at Chris, he is grabbing at me, he is pushing my kids around. I DO NOT LIKE IT!
We are safe in Christ's arms through it all, and I know we'll continue to bring Glory to God in all things. But man, it's tough. I don't think I realized the boxing match I'd be putting myself and my family into when we checked the 'yes' box for church planting.
Please don't hear this as complaining, it's not. But it is our life right now. We are asking God specific questions like, what are we supposed to do with this person, or this situation? How are we supposed to jump this hurdle? Why me? How can I be used in this situation that's for YOUR Glory?
Please be in constant prayer for the Jones family and for CITYChurch.
This IS tough stuff!
