Embark

One definition of the word embark is to take the first step into a process. This seems like a good way to begin this new year - 2015. In our church we anticipate the "next" step in a building process. We are embarking upon something that stretches beyond the immediate. We are embarking upon something larger than ourselves. We embark upon a 40 year project! What we do in these next months will serve the church for years. These initial steps we take will continue to bless and encourage for generations to come. I am not sure of all the exact steps we will take. We may hesitate. We may stumble but we will not fall. We embark - take the first step - into a process to honor and glorify God. I am overjoyed to embark with you into this New Year.
