I had a great day today. We are having some new projection equipment and things like that put up at church. It may sound silly, but I get excited about stuff like that! Sometimes it's good to see some visible progress!
I am also so excited about the new folks that are joining us at HPHC every week. We nearly hit the 500 mark this Sunday morning with lots of new faces. How exciting is that? I remember the days when we didn't have 500 people in a month! But God is so good to us.
More importantly than all that, my little girl Daniella came in tonight and asked me to expalin a Bible verse to her that she was reading. Oh God, I hope that becomes a regular part of her life, even after she leaves home!
I guess the thing that God is teaching me right now more than ever is that I have to work to curb my desire for everyone's approval. I am a people pleaser by nature. God has been showing me lately that I cannot get where I want to go in ministry if I have this approval addiction. I must be willing to take risks with people, risks of displeasing them when I feel led in a certain direction. That's tough. But we have to do it, if we are going to please our Lord.
