Attitude will always make the Difference.

Wow, time as gotten away from me. The past two weeks have been lightening fast and very slow at the same time. You know what I am talking about; your so excited about something that you just cant wait for it to arrive and time seems to slooooooooow doooooown, but at the same time there doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to get everything done you need to get done.

THE PAC is awesome!!!! I do have to confess and say that I was very stressed out the week before the move, I just didn't feel like we were ready. But everyone rocked the house, it was awesome.

After it was over, I felt numb, all I could do was concentrate on the negative things that happened and that some volunteers were saying. It was not the experience I was looking for.

Fast forward to this past Sunday, we were up 60 people in attendance and the experience was spot on. What was different? Why did it go so well this week?

I believe it was all about perception and attitude. The week before I was to caught up in the details to enjoy GOD and I needed to let it go and let the Lord do his thing.

I recently purchased a book from John Maxwell called "Developing the Leader with in you", Chapter Six is about Attitude. In this chapter there is a quote from Walt Emerson "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us."

After I read this last week , I realized that my attitude was not only bringing me down but those around me as well. I decided right then I was going to go into the Sunday with a renewed vigor and be the leader I know I can be. I asked God to give me the strength to be the man of God I should be and the result was a 180 degree turn around from the Sunday before.

God is great, he is the almighty savior. I am so happy to be a part of the Connection Church. God is doing awesome things here and I know there is some much more to come.

God is the reason for the success, but he did it through solid leadership and a willing body of volunteers who have committed their lives to his work. Great job all of you.
