UNPLUG

So, here I set in my office. (Kinda weird, because I am usually never here). I am getting ready to leave for a while. I am getting ready to unplug.

For the last 10 years I have been trying to build a Church, when Jesus said get out of the way, and let ME build it! I have helped others while neglecting what is MOST important, my wife of 20 years, my two 17 and 11.

Don't get me wrong, I love people. Heck, i make it a daily challenge to get to know at least 5 things about a person I don't know in less than 2 minutes.

I was told by an electrician that when the power is off of something, its still using power to run it. So I am not turning off, I am unplugging. I am going to allow HIM to speak to me and my family.

Therefore, its time to unplug from a few things. The Church, the people, my two jobs (with out pay - ugh) and head to a place up North where i believe that God is going to help me (and my family) turn over a new leaf.

Nope, we ARE NOT LEAVING CROSSPOINT CHURCH. What we are doing, especially me, is unplugging from a few outlets. We, especially me, are going to plug into God and allow Him to break, mold, heal, pour and restore His power back into us.

If you happen to read this, please pray for my Wife and I as we get ready to leave Tuesday. With the help of the Holy Spirit we will get what we need. Pray for my boys that they wont kill each other while we are gone ;). for my Dad (who lives with us) that he will have peace. Pray for CrossPoint Church in Little Rock as I unplug from them for a couple of weeks. Pray for the leaders and special speakers that for the next couple of weeks that they will not even know that I am gone.

Most of all, pray that Jesus will be lifted up and that HE is the one who receives all of the glory.

Have a great day and please learn to unplug.
