I am constantly astounded with the willingness of strangers to help a good cause. We have sen it every day in the reporting of the "love and encouragement" being given by so many to those in need in Christchurch.
One of the joys of this journey with "I'm a WorldChanger" is the total strangers who initially responded for a call for help or perspective who are now becoming encouragers of my projects and I feel one day friends.
God is so good at bringing together and forming "family" in everything we do. So why not bring family to the workplace or to the people working together on common passions like WorldChangers. God is so over function in the church and in his believers. Not that we function in the body, no that is vital, but how we find our value and purpose in function rather than our position as sons and daughters of God. When we become focused on function we can become performance driven, legalistic and combative. When our goal is family there is always grace. We function out of love and serve willingly.
This next two weeks is very exciting for me as several of my initiatives are taking shape. I'm meeting with several key people for my "Dreaming with Purpose" conference in August. The website and promotional material start being worked on this week. Today I have the first full strategic planning meeting for the IFF project.
And yet as I meet all these wonderful, skilled people I will keep one thing in mind always. These people are firstly and for-mostly my family in the Lord. My relationships and friendships with them will last into eternity but these projects will not.
So "chill out" Kim! You hanging out with some awesome people this week. Enjoy it and maybe, just maybe God might bless it and get the job done!
