Last night Lisa and I met again about Advertising for Saint James Kingstowne and there are a few things that I absolutely loved about our meeting:

1. It wasn’t all business  2. A couple people came over at various points to see what we were talking about and to give input 3. We both had done our research since we last met and that made it go faster 4. We were able to decide a few key themes and looks 5. We both have different insights and experiences to bring to the table 6. We both left with homework and felt comfortable assigning each other with stuff and 7. Before we ended it and although we each had a place to be, we took the time to listen to what was on the others heart and to encourage each other.

It’s not that it was a long meeting, maybe even less that 45 minutes, but God really used that time and I am so grateful for that.  It was a reminder that God can accomplish a lot in a brief time.  I will admit that I was a little nervous we wouldn’t be able to figure out all the things that need to be figured out and set in motion by the district’s approval next Wednesday, but He more than accomplished that.  Today I got to the office and had an e-mail in my box from Lisa with an update on something we had talked about last night.  What a blessing to have such a strong team here and to be a family for each other.

I am continually amazed by the blessings God has rained down upon me since coming here and I have faith that He will rain those blessings upon those who come to our second location as well.
