Easter

This has been an interesting weekend for me. For the last 10 years the holiday service schedule is not one I would say I looked forward to. I remember one year we had something like 18 Christmas Eve services, and in the moment I thought only about the number. I missed out many years on the thought of the opportunity and the need for that many extra services.

One of my favorite phrases is, "You don't know what you've got till it's gone." This Easter I find myself thinking a lot about that phrase. As I read on Twitter today about all the amazing things God did in His church, I only attended one service. For me it felt like an athlete must feel when all he knows is the game he loves and plays everyday, but he has been sidelined by an injury. I am not injured, but this Easter I was "out of the game". I was a spectator only. I missed it! I can not wait to get back in the "game"!

Charleston Campus: in these moments of missing out today I praised God for what He was doing, and I prayed for next Easter when will be experiencing our first Easter together. That blows me away to think about that. This time next year we will be meeting together. I don't know when will start yet, but I know it will be before Easter. God has some great things in store, and I'm excited I get to be a part of it. I hope you were able to celebrate our RISEN Savior today.

The best is yet to come!!
