You're Pregnant?!?!

Exciting times as we count down to our delivery date!  It truly feels as if Roger and I have been pregnant for the past 9 months, but with a different type of baby.  A baby church, born of God and filled with His Spirit.  There's joy and there's pain at times.  There's the unknown of what it will all look like, and yet there's the known that it is indeed a little life about to be brought into this world and visible; accessible for all.

When a baby is first born they aren't always the cutest things and yet as their parents care for them, feed and love them they develop and grow into healthy strong adults.  This is our desire. Our desire for this new baby church God is entrusting us with.  That we would listen and learn, lead and love a group of people that grow together and develop into a church without walls.  A church that is recognized by its people, not its steeple.  A church that loves God and loves people, even when it gets messy.  A church that is simple and so authentically real that it bothers the more "perfectly polished" ones that have spent their lives pretending.

Those of you that know Roger and I, know we have quite a story amongst the two of us.  And now God has brought us together to be the furthest from judgemental, but having been there and KNOWN the truest heartaches in life to be able to love, help and support those in such similar situations.  To lead, broken, hurting, lost, rejected, underdogs to a new platform; one of healing and second chances. One that allows a life to flourish with such fulfillment and joy. One that is set on a ROCK.  AND not stopping there, but to take those ones on the Rock to higher places on the mountain.  To reach the summit of life knowing and basking in a presence of God that you didn't know could ever be reached.  A presence that has YOU reflecting His glory... wow.  (Now that's what I'm talking about!!! )

Our arms are open, literally.  Our lives are intertwined now amongst the people we desire to support and love, hence why we moved to West Kelowna.  And now we extend the invite to you, come see us this Sunday Oct 20th at the Landmark Xtreme theatre at 10am (www.westmountchurch.com).  Come... even just reading this.  I literally... I want to meet you.

I've been enjoying helping motivate people physically in my fitness classes but.... a moment of truth.. my deepest love and passion is to motivate and inspire the spirit within each human being; the very life line to which we've all been given.  For it is your spirit that will last for eternity.  (James 2:26  "The body without the spirit is dead".)  due us well to start nourishing and getting that into shape??

I'm excited to see how the Lord will develop this little baby church.  I'm also thankful to know that I don't have to have all the answers as newborn parents don't.  But I am confident that the love that rests in a father and mother for their baby already exists in Roger and my heart for what will be brought into the world this Sunday.  Little "WestMOUNT" church isn't ours... it's God's.  Our desire is to steward and love this child as best we can.

"Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit."

Come LORD JESUS, Come.
