A Time of Transition

I don't think what happened Sunday has fully set in yet. I still look back on it as if it was a dream. This morning I got a call from Turner/Batson asking if we were ready to enter into our next phase of work. I took a moment to let that sink in. We have just finished a major chapter in the life of our church and as I look down the road each new chapter just gets bigger and more intense. We are preparing to meet with the local banks to determine the best one to work with through our building process. We are going to be reviewing the site work drawings in the next few weeks with Gonzales Strength our Civil Engineering firm we have hired. We need to sign a contract with Turner/Batson to get the Architectural and Engineering drawings underway that we will use to construct this first phase. We need to meet with three or four contractors in the next few weeks to determine who will build the first phase. There is so much still to do and it just does not slow down. Even though I want some time off to enjoy where we have been I am reminded in a message from Jonathan Axworthy today that the battle is still going around the world with those we love and support. Even when we are tired here in Chelsea because we have taken a "big hill" we cannot rest because Clearwater Community Church is much bigger than what is going on down on Hwy 11. There are missionaries around the world that need us to continue strong and continue our growth so that they can be blessed by the fruit that we bear. I am truly enjoying this time of refreshing as I drink the cool water but rest assured my hand is on my sword and my eyes are moving to and fro in preparation for things to come. There is no other place that I would rather be than here with each of you.
