Okay, So I'm a little late on this one...Sorry (Rob).
First thing is first. We had a leadership meeting on Sunday. It was really good. The thing that stuck out most me was when Tom said that we have to learn how to love people without embracing their core values. I'm not exactly sure how to do that. I guess just love people, right?? shouldn't be so hard. I love a lot of people and i obviously don't agree with every single thing they say or do. Anyways, I loved Robs message this Sunday. It was so encouraging and eye opening. I might not ever forget this moment for the rest of my life. He was going over John 15:5 about how if you remain in Christ you will produce fruit, but apart from him you can do nothing. Then he says "Tanya and Sarah,apart from Christ you can do nothing, Twister will fail if you are not remaining in him" Wow. Talk about a message speaking directly to me. I felt a pull in my heart that I haven't felt for a while. I begged Jesus to teach me how to do this. I refuse to live my life, not remaining in him every step and every breath.
Twister started on Sunday. It went well for the most part. I LOVE twister. There is something about it that makes me come alive and makes my heart beat faster. We didn't really get so much accomplished, and our numbers were pretty low for a party, but I still know this is what I'm called to do.
Bricks on the other hand is an interesting story. I have decided to take somewhat of a Hiatus from it. The Y wasn't working. We are going to do a one on one mentoring thing.Sarah, Rob and Ami are going to take on a couple kids and just pour into them and love them. I decided to take myself out of the mix at least for a while. I'm going to focus my energy and thought towards twister and let the people around me much more capable of leading bricks take charge. I hope and pray with all of my heart it works out.
Oh, and an update on the waking up early thing. 2 weeks down. I'm so happy its working.
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5
