God is up to something good

God is up to something good . . . we will soon have our one year anniversary for the Denton Campus. I wish I had enough space to share all the stories from this past year of how God has been faithful to us. We are so excited about our first baptism coming up Septemeber 2nd. There will be at least 5 -6 people that we know of that will follow the Lord in baptism that Sunday at High Rock Lake . . . we hope to have many more. Our one year anniversary party is coming up Saturday August 25th from 1 pm - 4pm. For your enjoyment, we will have ice cream, balloons, clown, music, inflatables . . . everything is free.

Now what really is important . . . the lives that have been changed. People who haven't been in church for years, people looking for a place to belong, people lookin for grace, people looking for Jesus . . . they have found it here at High Rock Community - Denton. As I look back at this past year, I am overwhelmed at how God has used me and my family . . . only because we made our self available for whatever He wanted. This time last year, my husband and I had been praying for a confirmation on whether we were to be a part of Denton . . . as I sat in a service in Greensboro during a missionary presentation . . . God was speaking. On this missionary's power point flashed a verse that jumped off the screen and into my spirit . . . John 15:16 "For you have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you to go and bear much fruit, fruit that will last." God has a plan for each and every one of us if we would just seek Him and listen when He speaks. You'll never know how He will get your attention . . . just be ready to hear Him speak . . . God is always up to something good.
