I am super excited about all the exciting things going on in the next 15 days at New Hope.
Staff/Elders retreat tonight-So pumped about what God is doing at New Hope. Continue to pray for the church, leaders and members. It takes all of us living out God's will for a church to reach the lost!
Children's ministry conference next week-Excited about some much needed "re-fueling". I love to learn and meet others who are serving the Lord.
Bible Bowl begins-What an awesome opportunity to see students who have studied God's word! It's awesome! Let me know if you ever want to join us for competition!
Ladies retreat-Opportunities are being provided to help women grow deeper in their faith as they worship, laugh and share with other women!
Wow! I'm thinking about all the ways God will work in me, thru me and bless me!

So I am surprisingly intrigued by the new movie coming out titled "Devil". For those of you who know me, you know that I do NOT like scary movies nor movies about the Devil because he is very real. However, this movie has gotten my attention. I am contemplating seeing it for a couple of reasons. First, in the trailer I viewed it states "One of them is not who they appear to be", second, I just want to see their interpretation of the Devil. Okay, so I know I take things way too serious sometimes, but seriously people, the Devil is not going to get us in an elevator. He gets us everyday. We are among people everyday who are not about the Father's business. They walk along side us and live in this "gray" area of Jesus. Are we doing anything to bring them closer to the Savior? The one who can bring light into the world.
