Many of you know that my bro-in-law, sister, and nephew got in a car accident last week.  I’ve got to say that I have been blown away by the number of people who have been praying over this situation.   There are churches all over the state, and bloggers all over the nation praying!  My future mother in law has been keeping a prayer request/update going since the wreck.  I get so excited to see her update so frequently and so many people reading, commenting and praying.

Our church has been amazing.  People have prayed, donated money, prayed some more, helped clean/move stuff, taken in dogs, and keep wanting to do more!  You guys are AWESOME!  It has been such a HUGE blessing.

I never really looked at church as being about me.  What I mean is, I’m on staff and try my best to “do church” in a way that reaches the lost and makes disciples.  I’m always focused on the people who come in and out of the doors.  Very seldom, do I make church about me.  Well, this situation has shown me that The Rock is MY church!  You guys are MY family!  And MY church family has stepped up and taken care of those in need.  I came across Isaiah 25:4 today, and I immediately thought of how my church has come through lately.

Thanks to everyone for all the prayers, money and support!

I love you guys!
