His Righteousness Endures Forever...

I got an e-mail from my brother yesterday...and he's coming to stay with Aaron and me next weekend! For those of you who don't know, my brother attends college at The Citadel in Charleston, SC. On top of the adjustments that normal college freshmen have to make, my brother has to deal with military training, constant physical training, and being yelled at 24/7. It's an extremely difficult school...but he's doing GREAT. We're SO PROUD of him!

(Isn't he so handsome?!)

Anyway, Aaron and I haven't gotten to spend any quality time with Bryn and his girlfriend, Tiffany, since the summer...so we're so stoked that they are coming to be our house guests. I guess that means we have to clean all of the wedding junk off of the 2 twin guest beds so they'll have a place to sleep. Hmmm...

Bryn is really excited about coming back to Elevation to worship and listen to Pastor preach. I mailed him an Elevation Live CD to listen to at school and he says he's been listening to it a lot. I've seen Bryn's faith grow tremendously since he's been at the Citadel and he's been such an encouragement to me. I love you, Buddy!

I can't wait until Sunday! November 11th is DOMINATE Sunday...and it's gonna be awesome. Instead of the normal 5 services on Sunday morning, we're only having one service - and all 2500 Elevators will be under a heated tent on the Providence High School football field. The leaders of Elevation have already committed to give 3.2 million dollars to the Dominate Campaign (way to step up leaders!) - and we can't wait to see what the rest of the congregation will commit to give! God is so much bigger than the fund-raising consultants who told us it would be a miracle to raise 3 million dollars in 3 years. God is so much bigger than Satan who will surely try to attack us in this season of growth and generosity. God is SO much bigger.

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; as it is written, 'HE SCATTERED ABROAD, HE GAVE TO THE POOR, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDURES FOREVER.' Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God." -- 2 Corinthians 9:8-11
