Sunday Night Update

Posted on November 16, 2008 | Filed Under Pointless Rambling, Sunday Night Updates

Some random thoughts from today:

We have seen around 17 people give their lives to Christ in the last month. That just rocks!!!
We raised over $1300 for XL Gives Back at the benefit concert Friday night.
The family that we are helping through XL Gives Back has been at XL two weeks in a row.
Sunday mornings at West Rome have just been amazing for the last month.
We worked at the XL House all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It was awesome.
I had to teach tonight from sitting on a stool becuase of the above schedule!
I went to bed at 8:35 Saturday night.
Jordan is about to pull her own tooth. Sorry, just a side not of distraction.
We have tons of new people coming to West Rome and XL right now. That’s fabulous!
Cliff does an awesome job of leading our church in worship every Sunday morning.
Texas A&M is killing me!
Our Staff is the best in the world.
Craig, Gina, and Floyd work ridiculously hard to make things happen.
It’s going to be a long week of work on the XL House.
The reveal Sunday night will make it all worth it.
Makenzie turned two yesterday and you can ALREADY tell!!!
Now, the Cowboys are killing me.
It was overall a great day and a great weekend. God continues to show off.
I’m out!

Sunday Night Update

Posted on November 2, 2008 | Filed Under Sunday Night Updates, West Rome

Another amazing day! This morning, we had a couple of people give their lives to Christ. I don’t know exactly how many, but I know I’m fired up about it. God is doing some really cool things around that place. We started our new series on MissionsFest this morning. We’ll spend a few weeks looking at our responsibilities once we give our lives to Christ. It really is our job to go and make disciples of everyone we can.

Then, tonight, we had the coolest thing in the world at XL. We actually had a person get a tattoo on stage during the message. That was just way too cool!! Our friend Wes did the tattoo for Randy Todd. It was awesome! It was a lilttle distracting for some, especially when he couldn’t get power to the tattoo gun. I’m sure Randy appreciated those breaks. However, it was a great picture of what the message was about tonight. We are learning that everything that happens in our lives end up being a part of our story one day. All of us have a story and God wants to use all of them to help grow His Kingdom. We just have to allow His design to be the one we live by instead of ours.

One thing we have learned today: all we need to do is make sure other people hear our story. When people are looking for hope in this world, they need to hear the story of how Jesus has changed our lives. They don’t need to hear about the newest and latest system of “evangelism” that we have memorized. So, tomorrow, just tell your story, and leave the rest of it up to God.
