How can it be almost Christmas time ? Time flies. I remember being in high school and wondering if I would ever finish those four years and then get out on my own. Now I'm on the other end of the curve, time is always flying.
We have decided that our community called Resonance is to be released into other endeavors in the kingdom. It seemed to be God's timing to move on. I will write a prologue on our church planting experience later. We are going to stay in North Dallas and focus on getting out of debt for the time being. We are not in a hurry to move on and will attempt to wait on the Lord and hear the next step from Him.
I am amazed at the hurried pace of life here in the metroplex. I am also awed at how quickly I am drawn in to that cycle. I can imagine the Father sitting on a park bench and saying Berry slow down and fellowship awhile. My response too often seems to be "Let me get caught up God and then we can spend some quality time together."
God continues to speak to me that His ways and His plans can never be separated from relationship. God speaks direction, and then God walks along the way fellowshiping in that direction. Truly knowing Him is not designed to get direction at the beginning of the day and carry out the task, but to stay in fellowship with Him at the beginning (guidance), throughout (the journey), and until the end (fulfillment).
Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you !

ber,
so good to hear from you. it is good to get an update on the journey you've been called to. i understand releasing Res. we've been there, in attempting to discern the enxt legs for Mars, wondering if the work we started was complete and ready to be multiplied out. it has not yet been our time.
we love you and would love time together if we can get it.
bless you and the fam!
Hi Berry,
Wow, that's some news. I know the Lord has used you to serve a vital role in the lives of everyone at Resonance, so this is definitely a case of mission accomplished. You've prepared them through an important chapter in their walk with God, and now He has further chapters for everyone, including yourself.
Hopefully we'll have a chance to talk before Christmas. It's been a while so we have some news too.
Guidance, journey, fulfillment....this is the first time I have wandered onto your blog (actually posted as the site of the month on the new blog for an infant ministry my present congregation.) The fulfillment especially caught me, because isn't the journey itself part of the fulfillment - being in that fellowship with God and all creation? I am not sure, just wandering and wondering here.
I enjoy reading your posts and look forward to more. God's peace!
