Who would have thought.... It figures God shows up!!!


Hey all,

Well as I preached on Sunday, getting rid of the clutter is not the easiest thing to do. This is my first full week of FASTING from Television (as most of you may know I am an avid LOST, and Law and Order fan. I gotta tell you I have had some of the most amazing conversations this week. As you can see by the picture above God really blessed our youth lockin. In today's hard economic times we were blessed by God working through our teensw to collect over $2000 for World Vision and for our church, My Brother's Keeper, that we support in Detroit.

As I have been reflecting on this time it is definitely a time of practicing what you preach. Looking to God in all things, and heeding the words of Jeremiah 29:11. I believe that it is when our faith is tested with obstacles, it totally figures that our Great God is there with us to guide us through situations. Blessed be his name.

As I was talking to some people this week it was so cool to have them speak life, into my life. That is, to have those real "meaty" conversations that I believe each of us desires to have. Don't miss those opportunities. They are there. In today's fast paced world, we just have to look a little deeper for them. I praise God for helping me get rid of the clutter. As you read this I hope you think on those things that you need to get rid of. Pray about it, and moreover do something about it.


I pray these words find you well. Seve God with all your heart this week!!!!

Hi Pastor Jayson,
It is absolutely amazing how God is doing the same work in people's lives all over the place. Several people I have spoken to here in Illinois have mentioned that they are removing all kinds of extraneous clutter from their physical lives to make room for more of HIM in their lives, me included. How timely is this topic!
Blessings,
