Remembering The Stones In Your Own Life

Working hands on with a church plant for the past 10 months has taught me a lot.  I had always had a burden to work with a new church (and possibly plant one down the line) so being at Ridge Pointe Church has been the best thing for me.  It's insane for me to look back at the past ten months and evaluate what I have seen and remember all of the lessons that I've learned, whether by my own recognition or what Shane has taught me, and think that it's not even been a year yet.  

I encourage everybody to journal what you have and are learning about yourself and your specific situation.  Take the time to remember, because if you do I promise you will lessen your chances of making the same mistake twice.  Also, take time to write down and remember your "wins".  What has God done for you and the people you come in contact with?  Remembering and reflecting are some of the most powerful tools we can ever hope to have.

"When your children ask in time to come, 'What do those stones mean to you?', then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off.  So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial forever." (Joshua 4.6-7)
