• it is all about investing. giving. promising the world and not remembering that it is not yours to give. casting your bread upon the water. sowing your seed. for reward? to collect? no. because it is love. because we have been loved and intested in. for the reward of giving. the problem is when we forget. and we only do it for the return.

  be like Johnny Appleseed and walk across the country eating apples and planting their seeds. you may never walk that way again. you wont remember where those seeds are. then one day you will pick and apple and halfway through remember and wonder…was this one of those seeds?

  Freely you have recieved, Freely give.

  Tele shared about a basic overall story about the churches and the Alcance this morning…it was all little steps. small things and choices–with changes thrown in that alter and move in unimaginable ways. but little steps. God moving individual lives: Charles Lake. Word of Life. Tele and Heather. Assuario. Ricardo. So many more…people moved by God to take little steps and their steps made open doors for others. so where i sit today, i look at everything and see one big miracle. but i bet it didnt look like a miracle the whole time along the way. like when there was no money. visas denied. people dying or leaving. meeting in the rain because there was no building. most miracles are built slowly. little steps. i just hope i am building miracles right now. that someday these little steps will form a picture of God´s work.
