CHANGE

Change isn't easy for anyone no matter how progressive we may think we are. 

It's difficult to change patterns, behaviors or systems we may have held to for so long. And one of the greatest difficulties with change is that it affects those around us. See when you change it makes others uncomfortable, it causes them to no longer be able to relate to you. It's moves them from there comfort zone which in turns causes them to react in ways that may pressure you to turn back to, "the way things use to be".

However, if you are going to advance toward what God has for you, you must not turn back, you must move forward not based on what you feel but on what you know to be true. 

So, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Change will be difficult but don't turn back, don't allow the pressures of peers to cause you to retreat!!

MONDAY REFLECTIONS

Sitting in the hotel in Lynchburg typing this during commercials of the season finale of 24! Don't worry Jack will save the world!!w

* Great morning yesterday - we kicked off a new series called INTERSECTION: AT THE CORNER OF GOD AND LIFE.

* I'm teaching through some keys parts of Ecclesiastes - really enjoying studying and teaching this material.

* Love what the creative team is doing lately.

* Love seeing our processes and systems being tweaked and improved every week.

* The President's daughter is about to get the smack down (on 24)

* Our team is in Lynchburg for the Innovate Church Conference - looking forward to reconnecting with friends and making some new ones.

* God has been speaking to me A LOT lately about how Lifepoint is going to make a major, beyond our wildest dreams impact on Fredericksburg and beyond.

* Excited about my friend Ben Arment's new venture.

* Looking forward to hearing Perry Noble tomorrow night.

* Only 45 min of this season of 24 left - what will I do on Monday night now?

* Been thinking a lot lately about how the previous generation of pastors were heavily involved in the political arena and it seems like this generation is silent. Have we swung the pendulum to far by becoming silent therefore removing our voice from policy making. Just some thoughts in my head. 

* This summer is going to be huge for Lifepoint - some exciting initiatives that are going to get us outside the four walls of the church. (or school in our case)

* Got to see my little girl on ultrasound today - can't wait to see her. She will be here June 8th unless Tammie goes into labor before then!!

* I hate the edge network in lynchburg - thank you Jesus for 3G!!

* Had a great workout to night but also ate some great food today so I think it just cancelled out!

* Lord, use the innovate church conference to stretch me and change me tomorrow.

* Good night!

MONDAY REFLECTIONS

Good Monday morning!!!

* Great day yesterday - we baptized 17 in the rain!

* Since we meet in a high school, setting up the portable baptistery in the auditorium is not an option - so we have to set it up outside and send a video feed inside. It was a rainy, nasty day so our team got some tents and made it happen! 

* We had a husband baptize his wife yesterday - very special moment!!

* We concluded our HEADLINES series - as I left yesterday I wished I had made it a four or five week series - I really enjoyed teaching and studying for this one - But I would rather end on wanting more than wishing it was over!

* REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS COMING SUNDAY - YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS WHAT'S PLANNED FOR MOTHER'S DAY!!

* This morning was the beginning of our spot on B 101.5 - this is a Monday - Friday 60 sec positive/encouraging thought to start your day. It's called "The Morning Wake up Call w/ Pastor Daniel Floyd - spread the word!!

* Heard this great quote this weekend: "Emotions makes for a treacherous adviser" - how true this is. Don't let your emotions dictate your actions or reactions this week - filter them through God's word! Let us not be emotionally controlled but spirit controlled!!

* Kristen is down at DRIVE this weekend - jealous!!

* Love Monday's!! I know that sounds weird but I get to spend the day with the greatest staff around!!!

* My house is beginning to look more and more pink - my little girl will be here soon!!!

* I have begun teaching Owen verses. We have started with John 3:16 - he doesn't have it memorized yet but we are working on it. The Word of God has the power to make men wise unto salvation - I want both for Owen - wise and saved!!

* My family was in town this weekend - love seeing them. My Dad and Mom, Sister, Nephew, and my new little niece - she's very cute!!

* Love what God is doing at Lifepoint - don't like growing pains so much BUT THEY ARE WORTH IT!!!

* 124 baptized in the last 4 weeks - amazing!! Still praying for revival - we haven't seen it yet!!!

* Looking forward to a great week - any week walking with Jesus is a good week!!

MONDAY REFLECTIONS

* Strong day yesterday!! Not the greatest attendance but still a strong day!!

* The worship was great - love the song "victory"

* Kicked off our new series HEADLINES - talked about the rapture of the church. Didn't know if I would be able to make that topic relevant to everyday life but somehow it happened. 

* Had a 360 tour yesterday (our newcomer's event) love doing those - talking about our story and getting connected never gets old - I could do that every week!!

* House Party sign ups began yesterday - amazing response - spaces are filling up fast so if you want to get into a life group contact Joe quickly!!

* Flat tire on the trailer yesterday morning - out setup crew didn't miss a beat - that's because they are the best around!! (I know the karate kid song just went off in your head - your the best around, nothings ever gonna get you down....)

* Can't believe that our little girl will arrive in less than eight weeks - that is if she is like Owen who came a week early!

* 24 is on tonight - that's only the best show on TV!!

* Heading to Richmond tomorrow to talk church planting!

* Love what I get to do!!
