If your life is anything like mine right now, then you probably feel overwhelmed with the things that need done.  Right now our church is in transition of moving into our new facility and everything is chaos.  Literally, my office looks like it has been ransacked by an intruder.  We have so much to do to prepare for our grand opening as well as maintain our normal weekly schedule.  Arrggg…

Usually when we find ourselves in this kind of whirlwind of life, we struggle to hear from God.  It can be easy to miss God in the chaos.  But I have found that what allows me to still hear from God is my personal time with Him in the mornings.  I usually get up before everyone else and spend time reading my Bible and praying or journaling to start my day.  Even when life is extremely busy I have found that I can still hear from God as long as I keep my time with Him consistent.  Many times I wake up I thinking about my schedule and how I really should get working right away.  When I start “missing” my morning time with God, I often struggle to hear from Him.

Are you consistently spending time alone with God?  Do you make God a priority over your list of things you need to accomplish?  If not, you probably will struggle to hear his voice. Remember, he is always speaking to us, we just have to learn how to listen.

Well, it’s been hard to blog lately since our church has been in the process of moving to a new location.  Everyone has been working overtime to make this happen.  Yesterday, we held our first service in our new building.  Even though the renovations aren’t complete, it was awesome.  The place is really starting to look like our own and the bigger space will help us reach more people.

Right now the building is a work in progress and probably will be for quite some time.  At first I wanted to have everything perfect before we moved in, but I quickly realized that wasn’t possible.  After a while, I realized that having everything look perfect doesn’t really matter.  What is really important is not what the walls and the decor looks like but what the real church is like on the inside.  Yesterday, I was reminded that the church is not a building, it is the people who come together for one purpose – to worship Jesus.

I’ll post some pics in the future of the changes we made over the summer!
