Ps. Dino gave two great Words today (one at staff and one at sub30) on giving God our future. I tend to be somewhat of a “control freak” and I try to plan out my life. In this many years I want to have this many kids, and I want to live in this kind of house and drive this kind of car and I want to work in this ministry. I totally needed to hear that I just need to lay all that down and work in His purposes and go where He needs me… All I need to worry about is feeding His sheep and remember it’s not about me!!! What a weight off my shoulders!
As I was driving back onto the Highland Campus property, I was overwhelmed by the construction progress. That arena gets bigger and bigger by the day, and I can just imagine the thousands of lost sheep that are going to find Christ there. I wonder what the construction workers think about all that… I wonder if they know the impact they are making for the future generations. We have let them know what it means to us, but I just wonder what it means to them. I wonder if any of them will one day get saved in the very building they constructed. I wonder if any of them will be the lost sheep we see come to Jesus under the roof that they will build. Wouldn’t that be so much like God?

I often wonder what the construction workers think too. If they have any idea what this building means? If they know Jesus? If they’ll come to church there or could some of them be coming to church here already. My husbands favorite banner that is around the construction site is the one that says, “It is for those who are not yet here.” It is so overwhelming for me to think about my children growing up in this awesome environment. Will my oldest daughter, who loves to sing be leading worship in that arena one day, or will her tender heart be called to the mission field? When my yougest daughter makes her decision for Christ, will it be in that building? Will we adopt children and dedicate them to the Lord there? So many questions run through my head. Thanks for the post. I love reading your blog.
