“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers

"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther

comfortable?

So the beginning of this journey had somewhat to do with being comfortable. We didn’t want to be-we wanted more, wanted to be stretched. I had the scary thought that I was getting comfortable again, already. How is that possible when I feel stretched to the max most days?
Maybe just feeling comfortable in our College Campus Church. Enjoying how things are going…why try to get more people to come? This church is just for the college…or so we get caught up in thinking. We do want more of the surrounding people to come. But we don’t really have the relationships with people to get them here; neither do most of the students as they aren’t from this area either. So what do we have to do? Make relationships. Yep, I’ll fit that into my schedule. Or so my excuse goes.
Now it seems we are back in the mode of just going through the days and survive. We get up, hit the ground, and pass out at the end of the day. Self-leadership fails again.
