I'm in Virginia Beach...and it's not like the picture below


I'm in Virginia Beach at the annual Wave Church Network meeting. Today it is rainy and cold. No polar bear beach going here. Even though it's nasty out, I'm excited about the being at Wave Church. Wave Church is a part of the Hillsong Network of churches and is led by a wonderful man of God named Steve Kelly. I'm here with some of my great friends (the elder's from our church) and we had a really good session tonight as we joined Pastor's and Leader's from all over the region. We came to receive an impartation of vision and wisdom and I'm pretty pumped about it. The 2 day meeting is focused on the question, "What's On Your Dashboard?" Steve talked about the importance keeping margins in our lives. We need to create margins (balance and space) in our lives with our finances, emotions, social lives, marriage, family, physical life... Balance is the key to life and burnout is not what God intends for our lives. He encouraged everyone to live an uncomplicated life, live an offense free life and to trust your instincts as leaders. He reminded us as leaders that even Jesus was denied and betrayed. I felt the Lord speak some good things to me and I'm looking forward to learning more tomorrow. I'm excited about the future of our church and all that God is doing today! I'll post more pics and notes tomorrow.

Great devotional, "Exceedingly Abundantly"

Today I read a great devotional from Joel Osteen Ministries that I thought would be an encouragement to you. To often we settle for mediocrity & second best in our lives. Many times I trust God for so little when He really wants to bless me big! I want to challenge you today to remember that God can do more in & through your life than what your currently believing for! Take a step & believe big today! TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever" (Ephesians 3:20-21, NKJ) TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria God wants to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ever ask, think, or imagine. In another place, it says that no person has ever seen, heard, or even imagined the wonderful things that God has in store for those who love the Lord. But notice that it's according

"Genesis Week" -an excerpt from my upcoming mini-book!

Here's an excerpt from one of the "Small Book, Big Difference" mini-books that I'm currently writing. It's called, "Genesis Week- Creating A Life Worth Living One Day At A Time" and will be out this summer or eventually.  ____________________________________________________________   “... God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life...”.   Psalm 51:7-15 (MSG) On July 4, 2012, hundreds of thousands of people eagerly gathered in San Diego, California, to enjoy an 18-minute fireworks show that was advertised as one of the "biggest in the nation."   People waited for hours for what was sure to be the best ever Big Bay Boom. Hundreds of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours had been spent on planning and preparing for this epic event.  A few minutes before the anticipated 9 p.m. start time, the show began, unexpectedly. In one loud blast, all of the fireworks ignited simultaneously. Th
