As a part of the internship I am overseeing the opening of the new Video Venue. We had a live worship band and greeting and prayer then the video announcements. The offering and Sermon are piped in live in HD on a huge screen. Pastor Joe is larger than life. After a few minutes it is almost hard to tell that he isn't standing there. The Venue seats about 800 people per service. We started off with 2 services this past weekend. There were so many different individual elements that could've gone wrong and I have to admit ... I was running around like crazy, up until the last minute or so. Everything came togeher very nicely. The worship was incredible. All the transitions were smooth. The new series by Pastor Joe, "Questions", took on great issues and brought it home. We had about 210 in the first service and about 120 in the second service. Not bad at all for the first weekend. Next weekend we have none other than John Maxwell doing the welcome. How cool is that.
The funny thing is that I woke up Monday (Aug 24th) with a Dream. I was in a room and Pastor Joe walked by and then Pastor Paul. Paul turn to me and handed me his Blackberry and told me to print out a document from it. When I looked down at the phone and it was way bigger than i had ever remembered. The size was bigger, the keys were bigger, the screen, the functions .... everything. So, i said "how?". He said "Hit PT1 and print it I need it ... figure it out" and then he walked away. That is when I woke up. With this feeling of what am I doing? I don't know anything about this phone? It needs to get done and i have know idea where to start. When I got to church that morning, Pastor Paul caught me in the parking lot and told me that he had talked to Pastor Mel the night before and they were giving me the reins to the Venue. "Set up a meeting and make it happen." And that was it. I just think it is funny when that stuff happens. God gives you a heads up, but ... not to much ... just enough.

Man I love God!!! He blows my mind everyday w/ his love & his mysterious ways.
You know, I enjoy it when Sean has dreams...because he rarely does....I have a dream like every night. So, unless it's really an impactful dream, I just forget about it. But not Sean...he sleeps like a baby & barely dreams....well those kind anyhow.
We have a Big Dream...a Dream of seeing hundreds of thousands of souls won for Jesus!!! We daydream about it almost daily! We are so excited to get to Cleveland & start building the core team God has called to the Vision. And then build the House.
You see, God really has One Vision. He sees the Lost Saved, The Brokenhearted Whole, the Sick Healed, those in Bondage Set Free!...this is his Vision...I like to call it God Vision. And there's those of us who grasp it...who see it....who are willing to run w/ it...go anywhere it commissions us...well Jesus said in Mark 16:15 "Go...go ye into all the world & preach the gospel..." And he's called us out..out of our comfort zone & said go...Go Sean & Faith and build my house....we know we are to go to Cleveland & plant an amazing church w/ a team of people called to this One God Vision. But He's also called us Today...to build His House..here in Texas Today...& we are so excited about what God is doing at Celebration Church (Georgetown, Tx) & we get excited when we have opportunities to invite people to our church. It's awesome to be a part of an amazing team of people that are called to God's Vision.
Oh, & Sean, that was a really cool dream & I've enjoyed every service in the Video Venue. I am amazed & honored to serve along side of you. It's been hard lately....w/ all that's going on..., but it's been fun & it's well worth the Cause!!!
Vision: the ability to see.
May we all see the heart & vision of our God....& see the harvest is plentiful...the laborers are few..Mathew 9:37
