New Territory

The past 3 years at HRC I have been talking about "walking in new territory" as a church. It seems as though we are! The interesting thing is that my expectations of this exploration of new territory are true. Not always easy or fun; but true.

As we walk in God's many blessings I find myself not aware yet of the fruitful parts of the land in this new territory. I am not intimate with the pitfalls and thorns on the land. In fact, it is as if I have stumbled a time or two navigating this new territory. However, I am one to get up, dust myself off, and continue to explore.

I believe that this "new territory" is the place that God is bringing our church. Thanks for giving me the grace to lead while muddling into new territory.

I promise you that if you continue to give me the grace to lead in new territory that I will give all of my energy to lead HRC where God wants us to go!

So, the days we are in are exciting. Not always the easiest... but, that really is OK with me. I love walking in obedience to God's plans!

I promise to not only give you the grave, but also the grace, to muddle through. ;0) Heck, I'll even help you get back up and dust you off.

I'm genuinely excited about the new territory we are exploring, and it is a privilege to walk beside you as you pursue God's will for HRC.

I'm glad you're my friend, my pastor and my fellow servant.

Cheers!
