Congress 2004

In between making sure the kids were settled and racing from one session to the next, I feel as if God may have been prompting me towards the future at this year's Congress. I went to two different sessions that were run by Erwin McManus, a session on developing deeper spiritual roots and exprienced worship led by Chris Tomlin. The last session I went to was on how to communicate with people while they are going through the crap of life. I definitely feel like I got something out of the session even though not fully engaged. But as I zoned in and out, what I only know to be the nudgings of the Holy Spirit, began to stir in me. As I processed some of what I heard and experienced throughout the conference a few things bubbled to the surface. 1) I need to pray more for the minsitries and people God has entrusted to my care 2) I need to spend significant time investing in future leaders 3) The possibility of planting a church in the valley somewhere down the line.

Now what?
