"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." (James 1:2-4 ESV)
I look back and it doesn't feel like it has been a year but it has. I'm here to say that the last year has been more about us than Macon, Georgia. The last year has not been easy by any stretch of the imagination. Every trial and difficulty has forced me to examine what I believe and my faith in what God is able to do. He has been faithful to complete and perfect the deposit he has put within us.

There have been many times I thought there was nothing happening on the surface. I learned that many times we totally discount what Holy Spirit is doing behind the scenes because we put so much stock in what we are doing, or that we need to be doing something in order for lives to be changed. I learned on many occasions that I really was not needed to change people's lives but rather I have the privilege to be involved in this great story of redemption.
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” (2 Corinthians 4:7 ESV)
Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest." (Matthew 9:37-38)
