Roller Coaster

Hey Element Church. MAN, today was one of those days. No other way to describe it other than "one of those days". Ever had one? Had a BLAST this past weekend at the finance seminar, church, and the super bowl party. Finished off our wonderful visit with Andy and Aubrey Hazelet who are praying about a move here to Cheyenne to join the Element staff team when Andy graduates from Oklahoma Wesleyan University in May. We had a record day in attendance on Sunday with 313. Two people gave their hearts to Christ and the energy and excitement at Element is off the charts. Had a great dreaming and planning session with Grant and Adam this morning, spent some great time in prayer then held a GREAT staff meeting. We felt we had a great lead on a meeting location and before going to do a walk through today actually felt as if God was opening an unseen door for us. Then it all came crashing down to make it "one of those days". Where something just totally takes the wind out of your sails. All the positives of the meeting location turned into "no" "no" "no" and "NO" on a couple of VERY key details that became deal breakers. It was nothing against the venue or their management just things that won't work for them or Element Church to partner together in. Isn't it amazing how ONE thing can totally change your day? How 10 things can be GREAT and ONE can erase them all. I'm ending this day by saying "Thank you GOD for ALL you are doing". Am I frustrated? YES Am I anxious? YES Am I waivered? NEVER Why? Well as many of us sang growing up..."My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus name. On Christ the solid ROCK I stand all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand." Everything around us might give way but JESUS can be our rock! Praise the Lord!
