Collaborate

Galaxy for everyone. So Tuesday morning this week when I woke up to a later for my district say no more services in person. To be honest. I was in shock mode at the same time. It just felt so inadequate and so ill equipped to deal with what comes next. So as I was bouncing back and forth to meeting after meeting and looking at training video music in options hearing that still Small Voice in my heart saying everybody is in the same boat even though

So was going to do nothing anyway, I'm continuing series that we had plans. So as you know, our church has been evolving and we were looking at how and why we do things and I just wanted to expand on them and use them as part of our chili identifies. So as I have been working on these were just as we've left them have already and you know to lost if you've just picked up with that since the first time you watching with us. Hope you make me to promote and improve growth by the labor involved in these about the seeds. We we realize that in times of tasting. How do we say and all we allowing the busyness of life to get in the way a wheel bearing fruit with patience? And are we creating intentional relationship?

Last week we spoke about the word celebrate. We spoke about how we need to become more about celebrating. I did that and continues to do that. If somebody gets a promotion, we celebrate it happy for the person we have until the progress that happens in the last whatever it is. It's exciting to do that stuff. Not just that we came to celebrate. So if you don't if you happen to be alone, I am praying that you would celebrate that too. We celebrate the lives of the people who have gone before us as well.

Intend to do is celebrate those things in our church in our community in our lives because God has called us. Two I'm having different and Jean courage one. Another that we will have the same mind and attitudes was Christ as Jesus had looking at the word today off collaboration Richmond give you the same attitude of Jesus Christ had

giving him praise and glory

for our Lord Jesus Christ

I was reminded on this story and I'm leaving in the Book of Luke. I'm so amazingly to what I am doing the story of Jesus telling the disciples to do anything in my notes for the Proclaim. But one thing Jesus said to his disciples.

Why don't you?

Jesus woke up and he rebuked the winds and the waves will them to call and then

I told the disciples absolutely in all and India. Look at each other even the wind and waves. Obey.

DIY on Tuesday Morning sitting in this very boat and these ways we just watching over me. I was in disbelief. I was insecure and equipped to face this storm, but it's because it's a different Stone.

We didn't expect it to get to this stage. We would be told where we at least now, you have to speak to a video.

I mean once I allow myself to feel.

I heard those words in my heart from God this morning. Where is your faith? I spoke to different people in a hurry, but they encouraged and I was able to drag myself out of that pit that I just found myself and it isn't even speaking shall we supposed to do he said to be just such a time as this?

You're right, but as we started to talk and formulate some ideas and throw some things around. Did you call down the Jesus call me for me.

It's okay. God brought other things in my ra and my fault you see that I received some so once we looked at how we can collaborate with one another. right I received calls and ideas from my son is pretty much of a video stuff a meeting online with the process with One Way Ministries was very encouraging that we were all sitting in the same boat and we will gang okay with next I could recall on Romaine day. We have to climb out of those pics and that alone with one another because we encourage one another in competition with one another. As followers of Christ we are unified and we are working towards the same goal. Is that our people do not feel alone and I'm capable and and struggling because this is serious. They are businesses that are threatening to close with the lady who does my head and and she was feeling so over whelmed. And I don't think we're through that. I also found that way but then we can pray together and then we know that when we understand God is in control. This is not a surprise to him. And I'm pissed if we set up a Facebook page with horses can share resources and I think we've collaborated with zoom in a way that Zumiez so excited because it is a way that we have each other people in Ministry extensor. So we look at those with What happens when we learn to collaborate?

That have that I have connected with over the last little while has shared with me and now we're sharing them with each other There Are Places and websites that are teachers at home and this offering resources and we are there to encourage one another. Feeling down and it distracted and you would never have done before I had someone phone me and a female me an offer me to to help me with resources that I didn't have and that was like a big fat but it was a little connection that I appreciate that. We all have different abilities and when we share those abilities, then we can go that much further. It's not for us to live alone and in isolation for sex because there's ways if we can still be with each other and have it take someone to any important agent appointment if I need it in doing it in a healthy and safe way to do it and that it was a big lesson that I have to learn over the time and this would we need to say because each of us needs to be an issue of us needs to have And assure me over the years that when people offer me how I need to I need to be honoring received. He's laid me on someone's heart to help. And then I'm saying no so much you're saying no to God to the help that he's sending my way. Because me prideful.

It makes me stronger to just acknowledge that you know that situation resource my way because it's just makes us stronger and you know, God doesn't call the equipped he equips the called and that's what he's doing with us every single that real cold to do ministry Boston if we look for those opportunities.

To listen, we will see and we will understand and we will know just how cold it. Cesar I want us to be encouraged. Because Hebrews 13 6 days to us do not neglect to do good and Shay what you have because those sacrifices are very pleasing to God when we shave with one of the leverage with one another when we work together as a body. Show me the body of Christ within the body of the community of your work wherever you may be. Jointly on an activity especially to produce and create something know what this week to look at being somebody being my mission. I want to look at somebody being my friend. So be a friend to someone this week.

Stretch yourself to do something out of the box cuz I said I just pray live now that may God bless you and keep you and make his face to shine upon you. And give you peace at this time we present in Jesus. Holy name.
