A Year

It's hard to believe that we are planning for our one year anniversary service. It seems like it has gone by so fast but at the same time when i think about all that has happened.......it seems like 5 years! It has been the hardest thing that I have EVER done in my life by far but it has been the MOST rewarding at the same time! There is no way that I could have prepared myself for this. I read books, attended conferences, spent hours interviewing church planters, and even interviewed pastors from Vegas.........nothing I "heard" made any impact on me until i got my feet wet. I know now what they meant by things like, "It's like ridding a roller coaster" and "If you have any quit in you at all don't do this"! Church planters are my hero's. They are doing it on the front lines. If you know one, make it a point this year to pray for them, call them and encourage them or find some way to bless them.
