Love to Serve

I got to say that I love serving in my local church. I serve as Tech Team Leader at my local church, Cedar Hills Church, and today we had some training on the presentation software that we use. Some how it worked out that I got to take 4 hours off of work and hang out with an unexpected amount of people from the Tech Team, which is always good, and watch some online training classes that were better than expected. Then at rehearsal tonight we apply some of what we learned and accomplished some great things. I know that this is like the euphoria of serving that typically it's more like people didn't show and the computer didn't work so we missed most of everything and the classes were horrible, but I can't help but be excited. Seeing people use the talents that God has given them, and watching them be applied in a practical way is just an exciting thing to see.

Challenge to Grow

Typically in the past my perspective when looking at the course and direction of my life has been me centered. I guess what I mean by that is that when I move or make some change life in general changes for me. I do something then I change. Recently a good friend of mine moved from Idaho to California. Yeah, not the typical move but he's also not the typical dude. And I find myself facing change that was not created by me. I'm not saying that this is a bad thing in fact I think that is good. It is challenging me in more ways than I thought. My friend is following God and I sincerely encourage him in that, he will be missed but once again as he has periodically done in the past he is challenging me to grow. Or I could say God is working through him challenging me to grow. I've had to step up in my leadership which I think is just what I needed. Anyway if your reading this then most likely you are him. Thank you for your guidance, friendship, and challenging me to see myself and others with the potential that God sees.
