Today was a very special day at Grace Place.  We had our first unofficial/official service as Grace Place Community.  I really did not have any expectation, only a hope that things would be as the Spirit wanted and I think that this is exactly what happened.

It was great having family and friends together for a sweet time of worship and the beautiful and amazing thing was seeing all of the new folks coming to join us.  When you give your life to something, you need confirmation, whether you realize it or not.  The Spirit provided some much-needed and appreciated confirmation this morning.

I am thankful to God for blessing us with the opportunity to be a part of something amazing and special.  I am thankful to all of the people – those who were there today and those who could not be there today, who have been faithful over the past several years to help make a day like today possible.  I am thankful to family and friends who continue to encourage me to stay faithful.

To God be the glory for what He has, is and will do.  To all of the faithful folks who have given, are giving and will give of themselves – thank you – the blessings of today are a testimony and witness of how God rewards the faithfulness of His people.  To the family and friends who encourage me in so many different ways – I would not want to think of having to do this without you?

Heading to bed tonight – humbled, thankful and hopeful!  I love you all – God Bless and Press On!
