Awesome Day!

I got the office at 6 this morning, read the bible, listened to Andy Stanley’s talk at Catalyst last year, and enjoyed the quiet.  Once 8:30 hit, the office was ANYTHING but quiet.  Tuesday is the day our entire staff is in the office and it is a mad house!

The first Tuesday of the month we have all staff meeting and today was just very productive.  We have the first budget in the history of our church!!!!!!  It took us 3 1/2 years to get it together and I believe it is going to PAINFUL to adjust at first, but it feels so freeing to actually have some focused guidelines on how we operate.  Jennifer has done a bang up job getting things ready for us to implement this.

I loved hearing the staff share stories of people and life change happening.  THAT is why we do Revolution.  I shared my heart on some things and there was just a good vibe.  After lunch we had an all-staff meeting about our Easter Egg Drop and I am so impressed with Jennifer Popp and Preston.  They have done a great job getting this thing together and today I felt good knowing this thing is going to work.

I ended the day by doing monthly reviews with the entire staff.  They were short and took about 10 minutes, but it was just great to hang out one on one with our team and hear what God is doing in their lives.  I love our team.

Lots of BIG things planned in every area.  This was Thad’s second day and I am excited about the dude.  I just like him.  We talked a lot about youth today and he informed that things are clicking along at rapid speed and he is ready for an UPRISING….. (you’ll have to continue to wait, but trust me that BIG things are coming SOON.)

I love days like today!
