I love a good road trip. This week – was an ADVENTURE!! SEVEN states, 2,000 miles, 2 blown tires, 1 break down, and bad case of sand fleas in 2½ days, all for a Trailer load of shoes to be given to people in Nicaragua!
It is why we do what we do. After the second blow out, my frustration level was a little bit high. Even at times questioning, with so much going wrong, was this the right thing to do? But when you are fulfilling the Great Commission – you should EXPECT resistance.
Our goal was to save a little money. I don’t think that happened after the mechanic bill and 2 new tires. But the end result will be 1,000 pairs of brand new shoes added to what we have collected here at home all to touch hurting people! That was worth the headache!
This past Weekend was “Barefoot Weekend.” I’m not even going to try to describe the emotion that was attached to this weekend. It was so powerful it was to see God working in and through his people.
Many people – just didn’t want to leave. Many just sat there in the tangible presence of God and honored that holy moment! The Church body came together and acted like the CHURCH! It was POWERFUL!
We see our Purpose at Cornerstone Church is to Advance the Kingdom. In a very tiring, frustrating, stressful, dirty, road trip! I believe with all my heart that happened!
Thanks for being “All In” at Cornerstone Church!
