The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain. As anyone who follows our story knows, our ministry was in a ton of debt four years ago when I came on as director. Since that time, we've gotten out of debt and turned a profit every year. God has done amazing things through out team, for which we give Him the glory! I find that what Seth is saying here is absolutely true, with one disclaimer. For Christian leaders, spiritual disciplines must always be first. Before we started inve
I really don't know where I'd be without the power of prayer and fasting. I also don't know where I'd be without people in my life who are actively doing the same on behalf of me, and others. History belongs to those who pray!!
Right now I'm praying for a lot of people in very serious situations that need a miracle or else. My heart is very heavy for a few people who have contacted me this week. One of them that is on my heart most are Pastor Mike and Judy Cayson from right here in Tampa. They pastor at The Connection AG. Last evening their daughter Bethany went into cardiac arrest and is in a medically induced coma right now. We have activated our prayer team at Celebration on behalf of Bethany and her parents and I am asking everybody who reads my blog to pray. We need to stand in the gap for these folks and not stop til' the breakthrough comes. I ask you to put them on your prayer list whether you know them or not. Thank you so much!!
So many people have contacted me with heavy needs this week, but at the same time I'm feeling a bit heavy myself and not just the fact that I need to lose some weight. (LOL) Being as transparent as I can be, there are some big personal prayer needs in my own life where I need a divine intervention from God. At the same time I'm believing for others, I'm needing others to believe for me.
I wish I would have gotten this up on the blog this morning but it's been a busy day with so many things going on. I believe just the right people who know how to reach the throne of God.
The circumstances are great, but we serve a God who is greater!! Right now my focus is in looking to how big my God is and not how big the issues seem. Join me in faith believing. Love you all...
