My Big Announcement

In case you missed it on my other blog I made my big announcement.

Oh yeah, John Atkinson made the announcement as well. Go check out his blog to read where we are headed.

We're gonna charge hell with a water pistol fire hydrant.

Is This It

Is this my big announcement????

Taking The Cut Up A Notch

Ok friends...nitty gritty time...I feel a fast/spiritual awakening time coming on. If I'm going to do what we are about to do then I'm going to need His presence and fire in me more than ever.

This is going to be a 50 day push beginning tomorrow, March 22nd, and will end May 10th. Here is what I feel God challenging me to do. Don't worry I'm really asking him if He is sure.

I'm going to do my best to chronicle this here. I believe that will challenge me.

If anyone else out there feels like they could accept this challenge, or even part of it, let me know. I could use a partner to help keep me honest.

The Details:

• Cut back to 50 blog subscriptions. And once a week on my fast day not read any of them. Today, I cut it back from 115 to 50. Don't worry Bill I still have both of yours in there...although Batterson, Noble, Arment, Stevens, Morgan, Furtick, and Lamb didn't make the cut. I figure enough people follow them and they wouldn't miss me for 50 days. This was a brutal one for me. I have made so many friends and it was hard to narrow down to who to cut and not cut. If you didn't make it don't take offense. I am also not reading my twitter friends feed during this time. It's just gotten too big for now. (Why not cut them all out? Glad you asked...cutting this amount is almost the equivalent of that. It's like drinking water for me for a day.)
  
• Read through book of Acts twice during this time. I'm also going to read through Visioneering by Andy Stanley. No other books unless I get some on Multi-Sites.
  
• Fast one day a week from eating. Only drinking water for a 24 hour period. 7 weeks=7 days
• Pray one hour a day. 50 days = 50 hours
• Cut back on the Podcasts I listen to. Not sure how this one is going to shape up just yet. But I already cut out 10 subscriptions on it at the time I'm writing this.
  

Overdo It

I might be guilty of over-doing this...but I'm so pumped about a possible announcement that is coming next week....

The Son is shining through.......HA

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING....

Funny...a few of you already know...pays to develop relationships.

Meeting

Had a meeting with this guy last night, who is a pastor on staff with this church for this pastor.

Look for an announcement coming soon. ;)

Record Setting #999

This month has been a recording setting month for Making Difference Makers. At the end of December I changed my approach and for two months I have seen a steady increase.

Honestly I really do give all the props to God who has give me the favor to produce and get my thoughts out to the world. I also give much props to everyone who reads.

Here is the kicker: February is two days less than January and the blog still blew out the record books. My subscriptions have doubled and the hits are up over 25%...and I haven't even counted tomorrow. And no there wasn't any special post that drew in record numbers. It is all solid growth.

To top that...this is, between my two blogs, post #999. That means my next post will be post #1,000. I'm thinking of a special one for this one. It will go off on Making Difference Makers.

Down But Not Out

Here is a twinge of admission:

I've been feeling down this week. I'm not really sure what caused it. I'm sure a lot of it is spiritual warfare. Regardless, something Sunday clicked on me mentally and I've been down since then.

My feeling is that I'm not getting anywhere. I think I feel like Nehemiah when he was standing before the king looking down. He had this huge vision but I think he was feeling stuck and he didn't know how it was going to happen.

It feels like I see this huge need in this area. I feel I've communicated it to people. I feel like I've prayed. I believe this is God's heartbeat.

But yet it feels like I'm down.

Truth is I could lie like the rest of the Christians out there that say everything is okay. I could lie and say things are going good.

But this week my countenance is down.

I still walking by faith. I'm still in the mix. I'm still believing.

Oh and "no" that's not me in the picture.

Life Goals Process

This guy has me thinking about my purpose and the process of achieving my goals.

This guy has inspired me to write 101 life goals.

I created a section in my google notebook that is broken down into categories I'm putting goals in. To start they are broken into the categories of 1) family, 2) travel, 3) ministry, 4) influence, 5) experience, 6) accomplishment, and 7) physical.

What or are you going to do anything about it as I am?
