Handle On Things?

I finally feel like I have a handle on what needs to be done to establish The House. Matt and I met with Bill Taylor, the superintendent of the Parkland District for the Evangelical Free Church of Canada (EFCC). We went over the constitution for The House and Bill gave us suggestions on how to "improve" it (by improve I mean to jump through the hoops of the government of Alberta). We also went over the other forms we need to fill out and talked about financing our mortgage for the house we want to buy. That part was actually quite encouraging, as there are a number of avenues we can explore; it's not a one shot deal. There are still a number of things up in the air (money and a mortgage being the biggest of those), but all we can do is what's within our power and let God do the rest. Now that's exciting!

I'm also impressed with the amount of involvement and willingness to step up on the part of people at The House. Almost everyone who is part of this fledgling community is involved with official responsibility, whether it be pursuing the building we are looking at, part of the practial group, part of the philisophical group, or part of our leadership. It's amazing to see how people step up when you provide oportunity to use gifts.
