In the Moment

Once again a month has gone by and once again I find myself in a place I didn't expect. I love it though even though it means being a bit busier. I came into this month, and still am, learning how to sit and wait on God. He asked me to stop being so works and projects focused and wait on Him. It meant cutting down a lot on going into Red Hill and spending more time listening to what God is saying and going where He wants me to go. It was so hard because my personality wants to be busy and have some king of goal to work towards. It helped some that it wasn't only me going through this. My whole Red Hill team has been going through this. But as we work through this we find it so rewarding. We have found a closer walk with God and much more fruit in the conversations we have and in the time we spend with the people in Red Hill. It may not look like we are starting a movement or getting lots of people saved but we are investing in lives. We are connecting with people's hearts and we are seeing that doing that is what God really cares about. I need to stop focusing on getting lots of things done and be able to show lots of people results. I need to stop and focus and really care about the individuals along the way. That is what is going to be remembered. I may not be remembered generations from now for someone along the way I helped change the course of their life and maybe their family's lives. This sounds so much easier said than done. I still have projects going, on which I will tell you about soon, but it is beginning to have a different heart behind it. Life has a different feel when you go to do something but hold onto it so loosely that if something more important with an individual comes up you drop everything to do what is needed. It may not be the most efficient way of doing things in the western mindset but God willing everything gets done. Focus on the lives in your hand and there will always be time to do projects later. In the moment of a life there is no time like the present.
