The GOOD Kind of Tension

Tonight I'm sitting in my living room thinking about the whole Imagine Journey and all the milestones that have been accomplished so far. Pretty amazing - the property offer, the faith-filled response of Westside, the remarkable volunteers on the Imagine Team that have taken an idea and an opportunity and helped shape it into a movement - some seriously exciting stuff has happened so far. And the best part of our Imagine Journey has been the continued growth & life change we've been seeing as a church.

And with all that, there's still the unknowns of the future. In fact, I have a second meeting with a couple guys from a local bank tomorrow that could be very good. Knowing that our time frame is short and our resources are limited, but that our God is so BIG - that's the tension I believe God wants us to live in. Resting on His promises and waiting on His provision. We're all growing in this area of faith. My prayer right now is that each of us will be so in-tune with the Spirit of God that we'll hear His voice clearly and follow Him closely. That's the Journey of Expansion we've been waiting for!

****UPDATE****

The meeting I had on Tuesday morning went VERY well! We don't have a commitment from the bank yet, but their proposal beat my best expectations. We'll be continuing to look at a couple options before we make a commitment, but I'm excited that God is opening doors for us. Keep praying for His perfect provision.
