Today

It was a pretty good Sunday morning. Worship was really good (Freshwindish good) there was a full band and the congregation really got into it (which doesn't always happen...). But it was crazy full at the service. Probably somewhere near 500 people or more. Paul gave his final message and then his daughter danced. And finally there was prayer time (people prayed for the Bradfords and Paul prayed for the congregation). And then more people started coming later on for the little reception (a lot of people from W.O.W Vineyard came after there service). It was cool to see all the people there to support Paul. He had an impact on a lot of people... and it shows.

The reception afterwards was insane. It started raining so all 500+ people crammed into the hallway trying to get food. Craziness.

Like I said earlier it is weird to think that this was Paul's final Sunday. I am sad to see it end in kind of a rough way. It wasn't bad but I know there were a lot of frustrations on both ends that i wish could have not happened. But like Paul said today, we are humans and there will always be faults in the way we approach situations and people.

I know the church will be ok and that Paul will be ok too. I just pray that he finds the place that God wants him to be. That he finds a place that he can thrive. I also pray that our church finds that same place.... a place that it can thrive and impact people. I pray that this day will just be a turning point to something greater.
