A Week Behind

Let me just say, we have hit the ground runnin' this new year. Planning and doing the things that have already been planned. As church staff we are committed to increase the spiritual health of Bethel as well as in our own families. I am encouraged as a father when I see my 9 yr old son getting up early to read his Bible and devotion book he received for Christmas. My children have started to catch on, that when we pray we don't just pray for our family, but for other families as well. To here them recount how God has used them to minister to there friends, is such a blessing. I am excited to see what God is doing in their lives and am even more excited as to their future. Most of the time I feel like I am a week behind on everything, but God always seems to show me the progress that is being made. Don't get so caught up in the feelings of being behind, that you don't see the progress that God has made in you. If your not moving then your not on a Journey, so stop and notice how far you've come.
