Catalyst One Day 11-16-09

Wow what a deal.  I was invited by our church ministery to join them on a trip to Maryland to view one of my favorite speakers Craig Groeschel.  Leading the charge FEE and Andy Stanley.  It was a once in a lifetime event for me.  The theme of the event: Momentum.  Designed around church growth but I can apply any of these principles within my own company and family life also.  I feel direction I have been looking for.
Just to highlight how things went it was amazing to hear Andy talk about less is more.  Do less but get better results by being focused on what you are doing. 
Andy asked us if we had a place in life that no one else could do better.  I was stumped.  He peels off 3 I have and didnt realize how important they are: 1. Husband, 2. Dad and 3. seeking god for my salvation.  I was setting way back in my seat as he told me how I must put these 1st in my ife.  I have alot of work to do.
On the way home after all of this I see my direction coming together.  Ministering to children.  Received 2 emails on the way home w/ opportunities to work in this area.  Sat in the meeting drawing on ideas on how to organize RCC small groups.  We have them now but each small group is working independant of the other.  We need to have focus and all be working toward the same goals.  I have a few people working w/ me in the background to put this all together.
Personal challange to my self:

1. Meet with the child I have been praying about within the next week.
2. Set up a meeting w/ small group leaders within RCC and have it scheduled for within 2 weeks
3. Put together pricing to impliment a better video projection experience from my talks w/ tech crews in MD.
4. Put Rachael in charge of my schedule and make sure I am putting my family first through all of this.
5. Advertise and plan on adding at least 1 new small group w/ new christians or those that want to learn more.
6. Become familiar w/ RCC website and begin talking on this project.  potentially adding audio files.
Lastly I must update this blog and be acountable to this schedule.
