satisfaction

today i got the privilege to spend sometime with a hungry youth pastor from ft myers. it is so satisfying to see someone so hungry for excellence in ministry. we work so hard to be excellent in all we do and a young guy comes and is hungry to learn how we do it…that’s satisfaction. there is no magical moment just years of putting structure in place to be successful in ministry. so many are not willing to work and do what’s necessary to be successful. they look for the quick fix…the magical moment…the big idea that breaks thru. if you truly want to be successful and find satisfaction, then just make every day a successful day!

props go out to our school principal! tony the house was filled tonight with excitement and awe of a new school year. you guys were organized, detailed and the night of orientation for k-6 was a great night. this year is gonna be the best ever…simply because your staff is striving for excellence!

wednesday night wrap up…

crave was at another level tonight. we mixed up the high school and middle school for worship had a house full of students and God showed. the altars were flooded with students and the sounds of ross parsley wonderful, beautiful, glorious matchless in every way…the message was fearless part 1 and the challenge was to live a fearless from the first day of school. we said goodbye to our students going back to colleges, masters commissions and ministry schools. we will truly miss this class of students as well as the ones that came back to be apart of crave. we have had one huge summer. from hong kong, to busch gardens, summer camp and a week in indy…through it all God has brought increase and growth in big ways. i prayed all summer for increase and we have seen the hand of God bring in the increase…praise GOD. its 12am now, i am tired but i got to spend a few moments tonight at steak n shake with a youth pastor from fort myers…now sowing into other ministries is a joy and a privilege. while we were there we had this goofy waitress that came up and said “i cant wait to go home have a beer and pull my shoes of and watch the steam come out of my shoes” that says it all…no beer but we worked hard today to put on the service and God showed up! another awesome night at crave!
