3-25-10 (Thursday)

Update; I dropped off (at Mike Rider's office) the executed contract offer today for the 315 Sirena Drive property/house. What does God have in store for the JOM project? Is this the location He has chosen?

I also received in the mail today a $5,000.00 check addressed to First Baptist Church of Lake Placid for the Kingdom Builders JOM project.

2 Corinthians 9: 6-7 (NIV) Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver :)

As I see what God has done today, just in the life of this project; I can't help but think about the lyrics to Keith's song "Amazing God"...Our God is truly an AMAZING GOD!

LET'S MAKE AN OFFER...was echoed unanimously by all in attendance at Thursday's night Kingdom Builders meeting. The offer being on the property/house located at 315 Sirena Drive for the JOM project. It was decided by all that we will continue to walk through this door as long as God keeps it open, but if God closes the door we will then look for property and build the JOM project from the ground up. With that said, Steve Davis and I met with Mike Rider Friday, who has graciously agreed to help us submit the offer.

Romans 12: 1-2 (NLT) And so, dear brothers and sisters. I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice-the kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask? Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.

This is one of my favorite scriptures. I got to see this scripture verse acted out this afternoon through an individual who is being led by the Holy Spirit to make a sacrifice in his life to help further the Kingdom of God. This individual has a 16 foot bass boat (which he loves dearly) that he wants to sell (by means of a raffle) and give ALL the proceeds to Kingdom Builders for the JOM project...WOW...how awesome is that!

As we talked through this situation, it left me with the thought of what could I part with, that would truly be a sacrifice in my life for God's Kingdom? How exciting it is to see God already at work in this project. Continue to check the blog site for upcoming pictures of God's boat!

In the construction industry every project has a name. As we move forward with Keith and Dawn Campbell's project we have done just that...given it a name. That name (with the help of Keith and Dawn) is the Just One More (JOM) project. So from this point forward you can associate the Just One More (JOM) project with Keith and Dawn Campbell.

Next week (Thursday 3-18-10 @ 7:00 PM) the Board of Directors will be meeting to make a final decision about making an offer on a house located at 315 Sirena Drive. Please keep this in your prayers as we all try to discern God's will for the Just One More project.
