Here Before There

In our journey of planting Reveal Church I am constantly thinking about THERE. I think this is a good thing....after all that's vision. However, I am learning that before I can get THERE I have to be HERE. I sometimes want so bad to be THERE and just skip over all the difficulty I am facing HERE. But journeying through HERE is how THERE becomes HERE. And THERE will be so much greater if I work that much harder HERE. Furthermore, I know that THERE is just a mirage...or at least it should be. Because if I ever arrive and THERE becomes HERE with the absence of any more THERE, then I have stopped dreaming, I have stopped growing and I have stopped progressing. And I NEVER want to be THERE.
