Free Your Mind (What I'm Thinking)
Tonight, I’m having great difficulty focusing my attention on what I must complete. My mind’s racing with so many thoughts, so I decided to stop working and free my mind.
Here’s some thoughts that have been running around my head this week:
- I love my wife – she’s the glue that holds it all together!
- Today my 2nd mom lost her mom & I had to hold it together & serve the family. I confess: I cried in the car.
- More and more, I realized that I need to be around visionaries and dreamers. People that only think here and now drain me.
- Im beginning to sense, “We Cant Stay Here.”
- I need to get away to pray, think, plan, & prepare for what God has in store for Mars Hill.
- Here’s what’s coming soon @ Mars Hill: Website redesign integrating our social media strategy, an Internet Campus where you can view our services via On Demand style, Podcasting via iTunes, & Renovation of our facilities to reflect our unique way of doing ministry.
- I’m starting a Men’s mentoring group. I will disciple 8-12 men for one year. I will coach them in ALL areas of their lives to become men of influence! I’m TOTALLY excited about this!!!
- Our choir held an anniversary concert for my wife & I (11th year pastoring) and they did an OUTSTANDING job. They can really sing…I mean really sing.
- I love my church & believe I have the best job in the world!
- God is shifting our church & I’m sensing that some won’t be able to handle the shift because of denominational loyalty.
- Spiritual warfare is increasing. The enemy is not happy about life change!
- Sometimes I feel we’re too Full Gospel to be Baptist…Too Baptist to be Full Gospel.
- Here’s a thought: Drop ALL the labels & be BIBLICAL. Yea, I like that!
- Ministry can be frustrating – but it’s a good frustration!
- I’m considering getting an MBA. Why? I believe it’ll help our church as we expand the reach of our ministry though multiple campuses.
- Over the past couple of years, I’ve come to understand more and more that the local church really matters. Social work and missions that isn’t connected to a local church isn’t going to accomplish anything long-term.
Whew, it’s out & maybe I can get back to work!
