As a team we have talked about the odds and blessings of being on this team. Out of all people on the planet... Out of all the places on the Earth... Yet here is a group of people who are working together on a journey towards mastery studying kung fu together - in Stony Plain nonetheless.
Today I lived one of those moments with one of my other families. Last May a group of very excited people stood on a vacant lot across the street from the Community Centre in Stony Plain. The anticipation and promise for what was to come was energizing. Over the past 13 months, there have been many challenges and setbacks yet a group of very dedicated people kept coming together working with a single purpose in mind.
Today the promise was realized! Today my church family held their first service in our beautiful new building. The place was packed! After the service, we celebrated with a barbeque. The joy and excitement was obvious on every face in the building.
I have been so blessed to be a part of this journey with these people. I was blessed to have an up close view of the dedication of these people. I was blessed to work alongside them. Now others will have the opportunity to be blessed by the fruits of their labour.
