Let me start this out by saying that I love my church, Coastal Community Church. I am truly amazed at all the people who have come to church, been transformed and are devoting their lives to a deeper relationship with Christ. I am blown away every week seeing what God has in store for this community and am so thankful that I get to be a part in changing history.
On the other side of the coin, this has been the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. It seems like there is a new, overwhelming and daunting challenge every day. I know that God has called Shayla and I to plant this church, but it is tough. My pastor, Randy Bezet, would always tell me that I have no idea what I am getting myself into and he was right. The thing that I am learning through all of this is that God not only wants to change my community around me but He wants to CHANGE ME! I love change when it is my idea, but when it isn’t I am not a big fan. God is trying to teach me something and I just can’t seem to figure it out. I am frustrated that I can’t see what He is doing but I know that is the FAITH element of this whole journey.
Please be praying for me as I try to figure out what God is doing in my life. I don’t know what it is, don’t understand but all I can do is trust that it is for my best interest.
Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and He will direct your paths.”
