Why is it that we believe God can and will easily forget the plans He has for us??
Is it because we are impatient, selfish and at times disobedient??

Columbia BHAG’s
We are so blessed!! It seems that many things are being to take shape for our Columbia Campus. We have a lot excitement and momentum rolling and I am looking forward to be able to announce some of things that are coming up. In the meantime…will you pray for the Columbia Campus? If you are willing to pray, please pray for some of the following things:
- Church Leadership: Pray for our…
- Our Senior Pastor Perry Noble. That God will continue to fill him with vision for our church and protect him from the attacks of the enemy.
- Senior Leadership Team. That God will continue to speak into these men as they are tasks with the weight of leading our church.
- Staff. Pray that God will lead to the right people to fill the staff positions for the Columbia Campus.
- Me. That God will continue to grow in me the wisdom I need to lead this campus. Also that He will lead my family to where we need to live as we pour into the Columbia Campus. - Volunteers: Pray that God continues to build our Core Launch Team. Everyone who wants to volunteer will be an essential part of our Core Launch Team.
- Life Change: Pray that God will CHANGE lives through the ministry of our church of thousands of people who live in Columbia. We want God to: bring salvation for thousands, heal marriages, restore trust in relationships, heal hurts, mend hearts, and much more.
- Service Location: We are actively pursuing a certain location. Please pray that God will open the doors to the perfect location. Pray that God would reveal to the organization that runs the building, that we need to be there!!!
- Technology: There are a couple of pieces of technology that we are looking for that we need to make some of the elements for our worship service the best possible. Please pray that God will make those pieces of technology available to us and for a relatively low price
.
God is going to do some awesome things through this campus!! Pray BHAG’s. Big, Holy, Audacious Goals!!

Night before…
Do you know the feeling that you get the night before something big is going to happen? Do you know the feeling of anticipation you feel before a big day?
Well, that is the feeling that I have right now!! I am getting ready to try to venture into LALA-Land, but I think it is going to be a struggle. I am so EXCITED about tomorrow. I will be traveling to Columbia for the FIRST time as the Columbia Campus Pastor. My sole purpose tomorrow will be scouting out a location. I have my eyes on a specific location and I am jazzed about it.
All NewSpringers and people who love what NewSpring is all about – PRAY HARD!! PRAY BOLDLY!! ASK FOR FAVOR!! ASK FOR BLESSING!! Do it right now, do it tomorrow, and don’t stop. May God move in the hearts of those who are in charge of the place that they may have favor on us!! I will let you know something as soon as we have something set in stone!
Location is the first domino that needs to fall!!! I pray that domino tumbles down tomorrow!!Also I get to hang out with one of my buds from college who is JAZZED about being apart of the NewSpring Columbia Campus. He is going to joining me on the journey tomorrow!!! This is going to be a blast!
Let’s STOMP IT!!!

In my head…
There is so much going on in my head right now! Of course, I am a little tired after a LATE night game in Columbia yesterday. Here are some of the random thoughts going through my head:
- Had a blast with David Jolley and his wife, Heather! They went to the game with us. He had a post on his blog about the game, so jump on over to there and read about it!
- So much potential and excitement, but could not finish the game. Freaking stinks…USC needed that win! Oh well, we had great company, awesome tailgating, and a lot fun surrounding the game!!
- This week is my last full week of serving at the Anderson offices of NewSpring Church. Starting next Monday, I will be working out of the Greenville offices on a full-time basis. I am looking forward to getting to know my new team and serving with them. I know that there is a lot to do and be accomplished. Please pray for me in this transition. I have already started to clean out my office and packing it up to move over there on Wednesday. Moving is sometimes fun and sometimes of a pain!!
- Presidential Election is somewhere in the neighborhood of two weeks away and I could CARE less. I am already sick and tired of this mess…in my opinion there is NOT a great candidate to vote for, so America maybe screwed regardless!
- I am looking forward to an afternoon nap!
- Deanna and I are heading to Florence next weekend. We are super excited to see some family and friends!! Also to eat at Town House Restaurant! Place is FREAKING amazing. They are FAMOUS for their Marinated Greek Grilled Chicken Breast Dinner….It is AWESOME! I might eat two of them… Look at the goodness:
- My plate will skip on the Greek salad and baked potato. I will have a heaping helping of the Onion Rings and French Fries!
- If you would like to join us we will be there by 8:30PM on Friday to tear it up…join us!! I will be the one with my a table full of grilled chicken!!
- Also may hit up RedBone Alley on Saturday for lunch…
- Maybe Groucho’s…
- Maybe Starfire Grill….so many places to choose from!!
Well, now that I have written about that…all I can think about is lunch!! Peace!

Anticipation…
I am filled with so much anticipation…right now I am sitting on my couch with the Presidential Debate on in the background, my wife is asleep on our oversized chair. This weekend was HUGE with over 600 people proclaiming Jesus as Lord. There has been so much going on in my life in the last 48 hours. So many things that I can’t really reveal yet, but some will be revealed soon. Each one of those things make me very EXCITED!!!
Tomorrow, I am leaving to attend Catalyst. I am going to be attending with many of my NewSpring teammates, but I am going to be spending an extensive amount of time with Jake Beaty. He has been my boss for the past 6 months, but friend for over 7-8 years. I am looking forward to the many challenging conversations that we will be having over the next 3 days.
I am also looking forward to the many speakers that we will hear at Catalyst. Andy Stanley, Craig Groeschel, Seth Godin, Steven Furtick, Jim Collins, Matt Chandler, Dave Ramsey, and many others. It is my prayer that I will be able to listen without any distractions so that I may be strectched, challenged, and encouraged!!
So I sit hear a little giddy, waiting for this conference to begin and get going!!!!
