so, its probaby much too late and long overdue for this post but it seems to be a recurring idea with my posts lately, so lets go with it. :)

at the banquet the other night, for the building fund… pastor steve said (something), im not sure – but regarding money and the building fund. and it got me to thinking. now, before i go further let me state my disclaimer: i am not saying that we do not need money for the building fund. obviously money is quite the tangible answer to being able to proceed in the building fund. however, what i am saying is that.. have we forgotten the power of prayer? i wonder how many of us who were pumped up and excited at the beginning of the campaign, because yes.. it was a very inspiring presentation on the “to be” building, but i wonder how much of that zeal has been lost? i wonder how many of us now look at those business card sized window clings and dont think twice, or do.. but only 50 percent of the time. yes, yes, yes we need money. but we need ferventness.. we need passion… we need prayer. we need action to be taken in the spiritual realm that will produce an amplified re-action in the physical realm. are we demanding so much of ourselves instead of relying on the One, Who has the ability to produce the desired results? i heard pastor micah referto it once as synergy and i was unsure as to what that meant so i totally googled it :] the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. and i really liked that, well put.

so yeah, maybe this is/would be a good reminder for anyone, or all of us – but mostly me. and not merely in regards to the building campaign. i could explain it more, but basic point is that i think i have lost… maybe never even have found.. that place of familiarity. and i feel like i crave it, i need it. but theres a part of me that is scared.. why? i dont know. because it is new.. unventured territory. and just to conclude and ponder upon this definition of “familiarity”
