Friday morning I received a call that let me know a bull dozer was over on the new church property moving some dirt...clearing some paths. I am so thankful for H and D. I was there in about 30 minutes from that call and it is in a word...amazing. Walking around the now easy-to-maneuver land is so exciting. To be able to begin to see what God is doing with physical eyes rather than just having the heart-vision builds faith...removes questions...doubts...roadblocks (pun-intended). There are so many challenges ahead for Clearwater. Most are spiritual battles that require combat from our knees. I know this is a different kind of blog today. I'd like to ask you to pray for Clearwater as we move into the exciting times ahead. Pray for strength to lead this community to Jesus...courage to be patient when it's required and boldness to pull the trigger in a timely manner...the ability to see things from another's perspective...hearts that first love...listen...lean on the Almighty rather than our own understanding. This is His church and the gates of hell WILL NOT prevail against it. So many thoughts this morning...so many prayer requests. I'm going now to walk the property for a little while...to find a posture and do some praying myself...for the people that I so dearly love...the Clearwater Family and our community...our uttermost parts of His world.
