Monday Morning Update - September 22

What I'm doing right now -
Working in the office. Trying to focus after a long Sunday.

What I did this weekend
This weekend was good. Had a couple of days of hanging out at home. Last night we launched our first service of Incarnate Faith it was a great time, lots of excitement. I'll post more about it later.

Things to do this week
Meet with the interns tonight, watch the season premier of Heroes, plan the rest of my small group leader training, work on core team curriculum and get ready to leave for Portland on Thursday to visit family. Looking forward to that!

Praise of the week
The launch of Incarnate Faith went great. There's a lot of buzz about it and people seemed committed.

Struggle of the week
We're still waiting on house stuff. It's frustrating being in a 1 bedroom apartment with all the stuff that we have. Also, now that the new church has launched, I"m trying to find a balance between being with my family during service and serving. I haven't figured it out yet.

Book I'm reading - I'm going through Crazy Love by Francis Chan with my interns. Also, I'm reading The Tangible Kingdom by Hugh Halter & Matt Smay, No Perfect People Allowed by John Burke and New Moon by Stephanie Myer.

Monday Morning Update - September 15

What I'm doing right now -
Monday tends to be my work out of the office day, so I'm at First Street Coffee doing some work.

What I did this weekend
- Had a pretty chill weekend. Hung out at home a lot, ran a couple of errands and did church stuff Sunday.Met my parents for dinner on Friday. One cool thing was that my grandma came over on Saturday to spend time with Abigail. Watching my daughter with her great grandma is a cool experience. I'm looking forward to introducing Abigail to my grandma in Oregon later this month.

Things to do this week
- Intern meeting tonight, we need to plan our next event, Frantic Photo Frenzy. I'm also finishing up our small group training material and starting material for our core student leadership team.

Praise of the week
- I feel like God is doing some really cool things in the junior high ministry. We're rethinking the way we do evangelism and challenging our students to serve.

Struggle of the week
- I think our biggest struggle right now is dealing with house stuff. We've been waiting for the last 3 weeks for an answer to our offer, there's one other offer in. We're supposed to have an answer by Friday, so pray that if this is the right house for us that it would work out.

Book I'm reading - I'm going through Crazy Love by Francis Chan with my interns. It's a great book.
