entering into His rest

An Unexpected Journey 

I am excited to embark on this journey

I am wondering what it will be like to be out of pocket from LSCC for three months

I am thankful to my elders and LSCC for their generosity and grace


My Sabbatical - 3 movements

Rest - till I no longer wake up thinking about ministry responsibilities:  

            Matthew 11:28-30  /  Isaiah 30:15  /  Hebrews 4:11  / Psalm 46:10

Re-create - a new rhythm, new pace and new priorities for my life:

           Genesis 1:2, 31, 2:2-3  / Isaiah 43: 19 / Revelation 21:5

Rassle - encounter God:

          Genesis 32  / Hosea 12:3-4  /  Zephaniah 3:17  /  Psalm 27:13-14


in the grip of His grace,

doug



My theme verse for the year:

Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord - Zechariah 4:6
