This afternoon, (Friday) I got this message in my inbox on FB:
Hey guys and gals,
For any of you in the Walton or Gwinnett County area, don't forget that TONIGHT from 7:45-10:45 we're going to be hosting the Multiply Gathering at First Baptist Church Loganville, led by Francis Chan and David Platt. The event is FREE and the first 150 people through the door get a free copy of Chan's new book, Multiply. And you don't have to be a part of the FBCL family to join us - Thanks!
I had totally planned to get into my pajamas and spend the evening in....until I got this message! I was so excited on many levels! The funny thing is.....I thought Francis Chan was actually going to be there in person, hehehe, but it was just as wonderful on satellite and it was a huge blessing!!!! Not to mention......I got to see so many of my friends that I have missed terribly! As I sat and listened.....I was overwhelmed by the presence of God. He has been teaching me so much over this last year, and He apparently has no intention of stopping anytime soon! Watching this video, again, I was absolutely overwhelmed by the humble hearts and transparency in Francis and David! How often have I absolutely MISSED what God wants most? The great commission is to go out and MAKE Disciples! I had so many tears that came from my heart as I realized I had failed on this level. Each of us, no matter what age, are to make disciples......each of us are to prepare ourselves to do this! God did so much in my heart that will help me do what HE has given me to do! I love ALL my friends old and new, and I am so thankful to God for the many friends He has given me and Chris......and I can't wait to see how God is going to use EACH of us for HIS Kingdom! I implore you to watch this video and see a small piece of what I saw! May God bless you all and I thank GOD FOR YOU ALL!!!!!!
