Thank you! You are true leaders.

HIDEE HOOO Neighbors:

Long time no blog.. not for lack of thoughts but for lack of sitting down and typing..

I first would like to express my appreciation for all you are doing. I know you are all going far beyoung the call of duty. I see your care, and love for the kids. That is the thing that we most have to offer. I have been told by parents that they appreciate your reaching out to their kids, and the care they know you have for them. They as parents are seeing results and I wanted you to know that. Thank you. Thank you for your reaching out to them, which in turn causes them to grow and reach out ... and so on and so on and so on..

Leadership for the most part is a process if putting the right food in front of the sheep PATIENTLY waitting for them to eat. Most of the time they eat small bites from those who feed them every day and great amounts from visiting farmers. It is amazing how many times we have been teaching something from many angles and then have someone come in who says it just a bit differently and WOW what NEW revelation. This is a good thing. Farming, raising children and leadership are all slow, consistant processes of doing the right thing, having the right attitude and service, expending yourselves for the sake of others over long periods of time.

Something I have been wrestling with this past month is this: I believe we are pressing against the door of the supernatural power. I am grappleing of the knob not knowing where to reach or what it feels like but it is close. I feel the power and prescence of God like never before but it is not to be felt, but to be delt to be asked for and to be seen. We are not a good 'bible teaching' church we are to be a good 'bible living, experiencing' church.

OH GOD I want your presence I want your cry to be my cry. Change me GOD TO reflect you, your love, your power, your purposes, your passion.

I almost forgot.. Clayton and Dustin will be joining us on this blog so as a way for us to communicate with them (by the way their baby was born recently) everything went well. a very proub poppa..
