I'm not attending the Catalyst 08 Conference, But I did get to sit on on some pre conference labs today that were streamed over the internet. During one of the labs something was said that for me was so profound, it actually made me stop and write it down.
One of the speakers said this "Money Doesn't FUND Vision, Money FOLLOWS Vision."
Being at a small "prelaunch" Church Plant, and having ZERO outside funding, is so difficult not just for the Church but for me as well. And once I heard that statement "Money Doesn't FUND Vision, Money FOLLOWS Vision." I realized that I have really been struggling with this, and I didn't even know it. I would think about something, try to incorporate it into a "vision" and realized their was no money for it. So I would nix it right away. I havent been putting the faith in God, that's deserved. Its something I struggle with. But am learning to trust.
Proverbs 3:5
"Trust In The Lord With All Of Your Heart,
And Lean Not On Your Own Understanding;"
