Anticipating: Our launch day, February 13th, of course!
Hauling (every week): Lots of cords, speakers, a projector, sound board, music stands, crayons, papers, snacks, toys, Bibles, rugs, changing station, play-dough, sippy cups, muffins, plates, cups, coffee makers...and more!
Drinking: Great, fair-trade coffee when we are together Sunday mornings! There's enough for everyone!
Debating: Should we splurge on tables and chairs for Sunday School (which are very expensive, but are also very nice to have) or should we settle for sitting on area rugs on the floor for a while (not quite as nice, but would give more financial flexibility to buy other things we need.)
Listening (every week): To an wonderful worship team!
Watching: God at work in awesome ways, even in the stressful, busy, final days before launch.
Finishing: Buying lighting, baby gates, nursery flooring, and a new hitch for our trailer (which got smashed by a snow plow last weekend!)
Enjoying: Watching the launch team use their many and various gifts to serve on Sunday mornings.
Feeling: So tired a nap sounds good almost all of the time, so full of anticipation we could almost throw up, so thrilled to be part of something big God is doing that it makes us want to shout and dance and fall down at His feet in worship.
Trying: To find a balance in our days which allows us to do all kinds of last-minute work, yet also allows moments to do necessary life stuff (like doing the laundry and dishes and taking out the garbage!)
Mailing: About 20,000 post card invitations to people in the area this week!
Learning: In a word, faithfulness. That we need to be faithful to the vision God has given us even in these grueling days of anticipation. And that He is ALWAYS faithful to never leave or forsake us.
Praying: That many will come to the launch of Ignite Church, that hearts and lives will be transformed by God's grace, that we will have an appropriate amount of helpers, and that we will have wisdom and humility through it all. We would so appreciate your prayers as well!
... here's a little peak...
