Journal June 15, 2007

I’ve been getting really frustrated recently. I’ve got a new journal – courtesy of my buddy Scotty – and I’m already near to falling out with it. I get so fed up, annoyed, agitated, and upset about how much I’ve messed it up already. Or to me it appears that way anyway. My writing is messy, there’s pages where I’ve been writing diagonally, there’s most likely a few spelling mistakes, my pen has ran out and I’ve changed ink colour in the middle of something I’ve been writing. Who am I writing for again? What is the purpose of my journal? The same goes for this blog on occasions. Sometimes I write crap. But more so with my journal, I’m not writing for anyone else. No one else is going to see my journal – and I’ll break your fingers if I find you reading it. As far as I’m concerned… my journal is between me and God. Whenever it’s opened, I’m communing with my Maker. To be honest, I don’t think God really cares what I write… but probably cares that I’m spending time with him. And, as far as I’m concerned… anytime spent with God, is time well spent.

There’s no limit. We’re not setting ourselves up easily achievable goals. We’re not going out of our way to ask for loads of funding or anything. We’ve got faith that God will move… again.
That’s Re:hope . We expect the ‘impossible’ to happen. So much so, with the red church building… we’re already laying down carpet. We’re cleaning like there’s no tomorrow – and this building does need cleaned – I know from experience. That doesn’t sound like the ‘actions’ of people who are staying in temporary accommodation. Does it?
Then there’s the next one. We’re praying for 50 people to come to Christ. And we’re at what… 47 already?
Then… there’s the 1000 leaders from a church of… 50 or 60?
We don’t pray or hope in what we think is possible. We don’t pray solely on the basis of what we can achieve by ourselves. We’re relying on God to move. Again – Because He does, and He will.
