As The Pursuit staff meeting wrapped up today, I checked my email and came across this from my friend, Sarah. I read it out loud to the rest of staff:
"I have been reading about your church plant every week. I wanted to say that what you and Matt, Alex, and Erin are doing is amazing! I hope that one summer I can come down and visit you guys! I continually pray for all of you and I LOVE to tell my friends what you guys are doing! . . . I enjoy hearing what else God is going to do through all of you guys!"
What amazingly comforting words for our tired ears to hear in the "heat" of church planting in Miami.
Sarah shows love like Jesus more than most people I know. She's smart, faithful, strong and an amazing example for me and many other women . . . despite the fact that she's only old enough to have gotten her driver's license this summer. :)
I loved going through your blog today, Janie! I miss you and it just felt like you were talking with me. Of course I liked the pictures on the Nashville meeting where I knew a FEW of those participants well. I am praying for the many points on the prayer page and especially will be lifting up your search for a new venu since the theater fell through. I am so excited about Bob and Linda joining you and want you to know that all of you will be bathed in prayer in the months ahead. Such an exciting time for you, Miami, and God as you go forward hand in hand with Him. Our love to you, Janie, and Matt, Jane & Morrie

I hardly recognized you :)
You are beautiful inside & out--you have a free place to stay when you come down
Love you
