I resonate with the optimists and have a hard time with those who look at things with a negative premonition. It bugs me when people give up too quickly when there are obstacles in the mission of opportunity. Sometimes people give up too quickly. Sometimes I feel it keeps people back from believing that God can do the impossible. I love to dream and believe for big things to happen. I am a dreamer for people, missions, churches and cities. It is all about seeing with eyes of faith and believing the ultimate best for God’s purpose. Let nothing hinder the God-given dream of believing the best. Let nothing hinder the idea of perseverance in an opportunity. When one way does not work try, try again, do it another way. Don’t give up too soon or only look at one or two solutions. Passionately attempt as many times as it takes to accomplish what the pessimist’s dreams say is impossible. Never, never give up – learn, grow, study and keep believing that God will give you the answer. Let’s dream and see opportunity in every difficulty. Dream Big!

Pessimists always see difficulties in opportunities and optimists always see opportunity in difficulty.

Exciting Easter Service @ PF church
Today was a great day! I loved all of it. The worship was a sweet time to celebrate our incredible Jesus. The creative elements of Video and drama were powerful to champion the theme of hope.
It was a blast being together with the so many that came together. We had 1,050 attend this past weekend - 30 salvations - tons of new guests. I am so thankful for a wonderful congregation who got involved in SERVOLUTION and invited many people to the Easter Service. God is doing great things - thanks church for allowing Him to do it through YOU...

WHO ARE YOU INVITING TO CHURCH THIS WEEKEND?
I love the week before Easter. Our staff is working tirelessly, our volunteers are slotted and ready to serve this weekend, and it is always such a great reminder every year of what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross. Not only do we want to take time to reflect personally as to what Easter means to each of us that call ourselves Christ-followers, but we also use this as a time to introduce people to this amazing truth and help them come into a relationship with God. Over the past several days we have invited many people through Servolution and personal invites. I can’t wait to see if they show up this weekend…what God could do in their life if they simply let Him in!
Who are you inviting to church this weekend?
