Well everyone is making their wish list and as church planter, I thought I'd list you a few things we are asking and praying for this year. What would we be asking for this year? Just a few things here and there. Here is our top 10.
10. A second car - not too old, 4 door, medium sized that is dependable.
9. A Christmas snow. We would love one last big snow before we head south.
8. Church partners. Know any churches that want to partner with a multi-ethnic church plant?
7. Good movers. We have hired a moving company and pray it all gets down there the way we packed it.
6. An Iowa Hawkeye Bowl victory. What a terrible year for a team that had so much promise.
5. An enjoyable drive south. We will leave Christmas vacation and the mid-west and head to Florida on about the 30th. It will be part vacation and part "just get down to Florida."
4. Staff. We may have found our Children's Minister, but we are still searching for a Worship Minister.
3. All A's. I am wrapping up my first 9 hours of seminary and I may hope to have scored "A's."
2. Year end gifts. Final letters went out last week and we are praying for year end gifts to help create momentum as we move to Florida.
1. Family. This transition will be tough for us all. From Ricky starting a new school to Waylon heading back to the Navy, we all are wrestling with different anxiousness and concerns. May we all be able to celebrate the gift God has given us, which is the gift of being together as family.
Hope all is well. Take care and God Bless!
