Celebration...

This word is one that I am thinking about a lot this week. I have so much to celebrate in my life at this time.

-I am celebrating one year of ministry here at the Bridge Church. I am so grateful to be here with so many amazing people who love God, each other and want to share the love and hope they have in Christ with this community and city. Thanks for the privilege of doing life together.

-I am celebrating new life. We have several people who will be baptized this Sunday. I never get over the transforming power of the gospel. May we be faithful to continually proclaim it.

-I am celebrating the fact that I work with a great staff and leadership team who love each other and are willing to do whatever it takes to reach a lost and dying world.

-I am celebrating God's faithfulness to provide for His ministry, for my life and for my family. God is SO GOOD!!!

-Finally, I am celebrating the fact that I can to take a couple of days off this week to be with my family and give Thanks for all that God has done and is doing in our lives. I am looking forward to slowing down a little to do this.

So, I'm curious. What are you celebrating this week? I'd love to hear from you.
