Swimming for Gold or Watching from the Deck?

It took all of Michael Phelp's teammate's to help win the golds in the two relays.
And it takes all of us - together - to fulfill God's purposes for Oso Creek. One person not swimming the full length holds the entire team back.
On the other hand, every person using what God has uniquely given them, as passionately as possible - wins awards that blow gold medals away!

I was reading recently about how children don't make assumptions about what they can't do - they just swim in the seas of possibility.
They believe that they can be or do anything!

And then at some point in our lives we stop dreaming about the possibilities - and start making assumptions about our limitations ('I'm too old', 'I'm not educated enough', 'I'm not ready', 'I don't know enough about God or the Bible')

When the Truth is, no matter where or what or who you are, God has made you in His image, and the possibilities for your life and impact are only limited by HIS power!

So what are you waiting for? We need you on the team. If you know you need to jump in the pool then click here and send Audie an email.

There is also a specific need that I know God has designed and equipped someone for:
Recently the individual who was doing our graphic designing for print media moved off (and to Oklahoma of all places :)

And we are in need! So if God has given you some graphic design skill and you have the desire to use that skill for the Kingdom, then please click here and email me. (Or just comment on the blog)

I challenge all of us: Let's get out of the safety of the deck chairs, and get into the adventure of following Jesus!
