Well, it's all set, at least as far as what I can do. New Leaf Cafe' is coming on Saturday, September 27th. The flyers are in place. Churches have been informed. It's been on the website for months. The night is organized, people have been contacted for baked-good items and everything should be in place. Now, with the exception getting some soda and a few things to have on hand incase there's people who don't want coffee, tea or water, we're all ready to go. The rest pretty much is left up to the Lord. He will move and motivate those who are to come. I have a struggle with this time though. Is it a trust thing? Is it because I lack confidence in the abilities of myself and others? What is it? Part of me struggles with whether I've done enough and if there's going to be anybody that shows up. I find at times it plays heavy on my heart. Am I afraid people won't like what we're doing or that people won't want to come? Am I afraid of failure?
And yet, these are all wrong fears. Who is to be glorified in all of this? Almighty God. We are coming together to worship Him, to glorify Him. Ultimately, this isn't for New Leaf Ministries, or anything or anyone else. It's just for God. Pray that God will be glorified in our time together. He is almighty. He is amazing and worthy of our praise. Let this be our prayer and our focus.
Amen and amen.
