YES, I AM FRUSTRATED! Here's exactly what I mean, by definition, how I feel:
(frŭs'trāt') tr.v. frus·trat·ed, frus·trat·ing, frus·trates -
- To prevent from accomplishing a purpose or fulfilling a desire; thwart:
- To cause feelings of discouragement or bafflement in.
- To make ineffectual or invalid; nullify.
Many have warned me that if you desire to plant a church be ready for the disappointments, backstabbing, broken promises, stress, anxiety and feelings of wanting to quit and were they ever right about that! Lately, we have be re-examining our approach toward building our team and realized we needed to be more about the relational building with people who we can pour into and begin to walk out life with. I mean that's what 1st Century Church planting was anyways being among the people, loving God, meeting the needs and worshipping together in community.
Of course figuring out how to effectively reach the community is the challenge and with my days being consumed at the Homeless Shelter, it's even more challenging trying to find time to effectively build into people, build a launch team and build the organization. Of course, im not trying to this by myself because we have a few folks we have asked and invited to be part of the core in helping bring to fruition what we envision Freedom Culture to be as we prepare to launch in 2010.
Why did I write this "Blah-g"...I just needed to vent! Thanks Matt for giving me an ear yesterday, I needed it!

I hear your pain, we just started to resettle ourselves in America and found out a few family that we started working with who we believed were part of the core team our not. So, working with the family and getting ready to move into a strategic community where we believe GOD has called us is very challenging at this time, but with JESUS all things are possible if we only believe.
