Sorry I'm a little late in updating this.
Just wanted to post some reflections on the T-Vision.
1. I think I was reminded just how great the vision is. It's not just about a building, or getting A/C, or even HMCC, but really about transforming lives for the glory of God. Whatever that entails, and whatever it takes, it's all about transformation.
2. I was also reminded of what a great privilege it is to participate in this vision. I know that it was only by God's grace that He called me to Michigan, to be a part of this church, and to even participate in this vision in this way.
3. I learned that sacrifice takes faith. I was reminded of the story of Abraham and Isaac and how it really took a lot of faith for him to sacrifice his son that God would still provide according to His character. Even as I am pledging to give up some of my money, I need to trust that that God will provide for all my needs.
