Sunday Night Rewind
What a day!
I was jacked about the day the moment I woke up this morning… looking out the window seeing sunshine… no snow ( a little nippy)… anticipating hearing the band… hopefully meeting some new guest … seeing God work in the lives of people… how can you not get fired up?!
I don’t know about anybody else but today was off the charts… off the chain… off the hook… for me.
Here’s why
God was at work
I could see when I watched the First Impressions Team members scattered all over… host…serving coffee… getting things ready for everybody… then watching all of them serve with great enthusiasm almost 500 people today.
I got to hear a story of how a young man who just a year ago did not even know God in a personal way… was able to share Christ with his family at a bowling alley…
I got to meet a ton of friends of those who are beginning to call Renovation home… there were people coming who are co-workers… clients…. family… neighbors…
Tony our guitar man had some friends show up because they went out to eat Friday night… while driving to the restaurant he was playing the songs that the band was going to play… his buddy was curious that he would be playing that kind of music at a church so he and his wife came at 9:19 just to check out the “band” that Tony was playing with!
Got to pray with a cool dude after the 9:19 … with tears running down his face… saying Brek I am ready to surrender… I can’t do life on my own anymore – I need help… so help he got!
Had a couple of new friends that Josh and i have met playing ball on the East Side show up at 11:00… how cool is that?!
Getting to watch God work in and through ordinary people in an extraordinary way!
Ran into another cool Renovation dude at my “Sunday night run to Blockbuster” … he told me that he and another guy was going to start a small group for young men… awesome!
On top of all of that… it’s March Madness! This is my favorite time of the year! Coach K and my Dukies came through strong… I have till Thursday to get my bracket all figured out… it just dawned on me while I am sitting here that we scheduled our first Prayer and Praise night on the opening night of the Tourney… oh well… rather be hanging out with Restoration and praying for them and what God wants to do over the Easter season all over Buffalo and through the CHURCH at Buffalo!
Hey Renovation you are living out our r-RULES… inVESTing and inVITing
Hey must leave with a shout out of thanks to Jenna and Toni… you guys are awesome… you blessed us today!
