Bienvenue en New Orleans!

INSPIRE was born out of a dream that God would take a bunch of average, ordinary, messed-up people & do something great through them. We want to live like Jesus, for Jesus... No games. No hype, No pretense. Just Jesus. We ain't there yet, by a long shot, but we'd love for you to take the journey with us! - Pastor Jeff

When Not Enough Becomes Too Much

So, here'e the deal: Inspire launches in just 21 days!

Seriously, y'all... 21 days is NOWHERE near enough time! In fact, Panic Mode officially set in for me late last week.

SO MANY things to do...

SO MUCH still left to do...

My task list is supposed to be getting shorter as we get closer to Launch Day.

But it seems to be getting longer!

Aaaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh! (And that's NOT Pirate-ese!)

But thank God for one of our overseers, Monte Young, who gave me some GREAT advice! He said,

"Dude, enjoy Launch Day: you only get to do this once! Here's the reality: you're GONNA launch. You've got a GREAT team. You're probably not gonna "nail" everything. But that's okay... Everybody knows it's your first service."

I needed that! (Thanks, Bro!)

Ya see, I have the kind of personality that gets SO focused (read: is SO anal!) on making sure every detail is squared away that I can TOTALLY miss the amazing things going on around me.

I do NOT want to miss the amazing things God is doing on Launch Day!

And a funny thing happened once I set my mind to enjoy Launch Day...

That 21 days that was "not enough" time to get everything done became "too much" time til we see God what only He can do!
