Passion

This morning our entire staff team gathered for a time of worship and challenge as we dive into a new school year! We met in our new True North auditorium and it was so cool just being in there and getting a feel of what the new video venue service will be like. It is hard to believe that just a year ago the building was only coming out of the ground and now we are sitting in there and meeting....so cool!!

We talked about Nehemiah and some thoughts for our staff team about lessons we can pick up from him.....here are a few out of Nehemiah 6:

• Never lose site of the big picture

• Keep pressing ahead even you when you feel you are making no progress

• Do not be deterred from the dream that God has given you

• Surround yourself with others that are building not tearing down walls & works

• Never forget God given visions always are worth completing!!

It is really easy to leave our "Wall" and engage in things that really do not matter or count!! Our challenge is once we get on the wall and this "burden/vision" God has given us - we cannot come down!

What was so cool was meeting with two of our sharpest business leaders this afternoon and hearing these guys who are the top of their careers have burdens that God has laid on their heart and the passion for their "wall" was oozing off every word their shared!! I can't wait to see what God is going to do with them!
