Broken Whiteboard

I was working with the Encounter God team last week when I moved the whiteboard from the corner of the room, where it was stored, to a spot closer to the team.  The whiteboard was specially homemade for me as I discussed in an earlier post.  The glass facing made it perfect for writing and erasing, because the glass just wiped clean.  Some of you are noticing that I said “wiped” in the past tense and your are anticipating my next sentence.  I dropped the whiteboard.  It landed face down and caught the corner of a speaker on the way.  The glass shattered.  We spent most of our team meeting time cleaning up shards of glass.

I share this story with you not because I want sympothy over the loss of my special handmade whiteboard. (I’ve had an appropriate time of grieving.  I’m ok with it now.)  Instead, I am sharing it to let you know an example of how the past week has gone.  Preparation for Sunday Services, the Vision Meeting, and even writing Blueprints has been met with one distraction, resistance, or spiritual attack after another.  That being said, we worshipped God this weekend, the vision was shared, and, finally, Blueprints articles are being written and shared now.  I thank you for your patience and interest in the ministry of Life Bridge.  I look forward to sharing God’s vision for His team here in the upcoming posts – even if we do need to pause at times to pick up a little broken glass.  Go team.  Praise God!
