Today is Sunday. It's a big day at most churches. For Tony and me, it is huge, as we are privileged to lead the team that is launching Life Fellowship West, Life Fellowship's third campus. We are so grateful for the opportunity and love the incredible team that God has brought together. We love the new campus!
I'm not at LF West today. I had chemo on Wednesday. Excuse the whining, but I am feeling rough, and aggravated. My head hurts, my body feels like I have the flu, my mouth is sore - and in case you didn't know - MY HAIR ALL FELL OFF MY HEAD!! I sometimes struggle with the timing of cancer and chemo (although I can't think of a convenient time for it to happen)!
I am listening to our message from this weekend; Pastor Patrick is talking about starting now and growing in Christ. Even though this is NOT where I want to be and NOT what I want to be doing, God knows what I need and He is going to use this for His glory. I need to redeem this time that I am on an unfamiliar path, and not take it for granted. One of the best things I have learned from Tony Boyd is that what we are dealing with is not a surprise to God. He is with us and He will use this journey to help me grow.
What are you walking through? Don't get discouraged and don't let satan's lies distract you. God is there - in the midst of frustration and pain - to walk with you and to help you grow. Don't take your life for granted. Redeem this time - don't waste it. If God is asking you to to something - do it!
