2 weeks was a looooong time! It was actually a really good break for me. The first week I felt guilty not being at church. The second week I was really relaxed and could enjoy myself. The week leading up to today my anticipation for getting back into the swing of things was HUGE! And apparently there were a ton of other people feeling the same thing. Even with the snow we had a pretty strong turn out. The band was firing on all cylinders and I felt pretty confident teaching. Alot of guests again which continues to blow my mind. No Upstream kids due to the break and the snow combined so the kids came into the gathering with us which was actually really good. The funny thing about kids is that they have no idea what rhetoric is. So when I asked a question that I wasn’t really looking for an outloud answer to, half the kids would shout out their answers! It was pretty funny but also really cool to see that they were listening and paying attention and actually thinking about what was being said. They’re far smarter than we sometimes give them credit for.
This is going to be an awesome year! We’re kicking it off with something in 4 weeks that I’m practically giddy about. It’s one of those things that you just have to talk about. But I’m not gonna let the cat out of the bag until the last week of this current series. You don’t want to miss it.
We move into our new office tomorrow! We’ve waited 2 years for this and it’s going to add a whole extra level of productivity to what we do. We’ve been meeting in coffee shops which has been really good to keep us out and about with people but at a certain point you just can’t get much done with people interrupting you every few minutes. It’ll take us a while to get it furnished but at least we’ve got a place to call home!
It’s good to be back! And Sunday is only 6 days away!
