Just got back from the office where Adam and I hooked up the trailer for tomorrow. I love having anticipation for church. Hooking up the trailer is like the beginning of church for me. lol I start thinking about each person who will be there, the worship, message, etc. I think too often, we as church goers just kind of go and do our thing and we don't anticipate anything happening. We're going to meet with the Almighty God, WHY WOULDN'T SOMETHING HAPPEN? We go to movies, parties, sporting events, EVEN RESTAURANTS with more anticipation than we do church sometimes. I'm as guilty as anyone else. It just becomes what we do. Do we make those things more special than church? Do we expect more from them than we do God? I don't know. I know it's a struggle for all of us. For this week we have intentionally created some anticipation about the service and that is ok. We're TOTALLY excited about what is going to happen tomorrow. But would I anticipate tomorrow as much if we took out what we are planning on doing? I hope so! Would I be as excited to show up at 6:15 tomorrow if these plans had not taken place? I LOVE our church. If I didn't lead it I think I'd attend it. I LOVE our people. God has brought us just absolutely AMAZING people to Element. I'm excited about tomorrow. Hope I haven't talked it up so much you'll be disappointed. Ok, tomorrow is going to be TOTALLY boring. Nothing special is going to happen, so don't expect much. THERE, now all is well.
CAN'T WAIT TILL TOMORROW!
