Our first week

Today marks our first week at Journey. I am so blessed to be here. There is an amazing sense of community. I have met some amazing people and am excited to serve along the staff and volunteers here. I have been feeling a real sense of God moving here. I think he has some great plans to reach the people of Oklahoma through Journey. I think God has brought us here at the perfect time to see him work in unfathomable ways.

I have jumped right in since we got here a week ago. I have rehung the front wash, re-wired the dimmer rack, installed 14 LEDs that were in storage, built all new presets, reprogrammed everything on the console, cleaned backstage, plotted out our new gear plan, lit a comedy show, and even unpacked some at home. Tonight after service we are striking the current set. It's going to be a crazy next few months,but I am very excited.

I just got news today that our new lighting gear will probably arrive on Wednesday. Marty had the great idea of doing a set based on road cases showing the progress of what we are trying to accomplish. I am excited to see if we go through with that. Also, we have been talking about environmental projection and a huge christmas light show for Christmas. Until then, here are some pictures from this past week.

A New Journey (Pun Intended)

Sara, Dorian, and I are starting a new Journey. As many of our close friends know, we are moving to Norman, OK. Monday we left Orlando with a truck full of our stuff (and scenic!). So as with all of my blog posts I will include some pictures.

We are very excited for what God has planned for us and more importantly his church in Oklahoma. We will be serving at Jouney Church in Norman (journeychurch.tv). For those that don't know of Journey, it is a non denominational Christian church that emphasis the importance of relationships. The church's goal is to change the cities one life at a time. Journeys keys to this are Loving God, Building healthy relationships, and having a blast. I am superbly happy that God has seen it fitting to send us to this amazing place. I can't wait to see the great things God is going to do.

I will share some of the specifics of how we are going to create environments for worship in some future posts.

Although we are super excited, we are sad to leave our family in Orlando. Northland has been our home for over 3 years and we have loved every minute of it! We love our amazing friends, who we have got to serve with side by side. I am so excited how God has used his children at Northland to impact the world tremendously. There are so many astounding people at Northland. It is no wonder Northland has had such an impact on the Orlando community and the world.

A scripture that Journey use this last week has really been on my mind. Ephesians 3:20 "God can do anything you know - far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his spirit deeply and gently within us"

God is going to do some amazing things. I am excited and can't wait!
