Give it up for YAHWEH!

Why do we doubt him?

Early show times at the theater where we meet hit us a little sooner than we expected. We were informed of this change on Thursday! Thank you "Spiderman 3". Before we even set up we had already planned an afternoon meeting to fix what went wrong. Talk about pessimism. Well, in the words of Fire Marshall Bill, "Let me tell you somethin'"! Even short handed set up flew by, thanks especially to Tim who got our truss pre-rigged with the lights and dimmer packs. This knocked some serious time off. It then started to become obvious that it had always been God's intention to bring something much better out of these (minor) difficulties. From logistics, signage, traffic flow and even small details like the location of our hospitality and welcome tables, we saw major improvements! Perhaps the biggest plus is that hundreds of people will be informed that there is a Church at the theater. This could plant the seed that God has been waiting to water. How awesome is that!

Frame your problems with scripture. He has a plan, it might not be obvious for 40 years, but that's trifling compared to eternity. Instead of whining and stressing out when we hit some obstacles we should shout, "Stand back! God's about to do something awesome!"
