I have been thinking a lot about last Sunday. In the morning many of us from The Way Middleton went to CFC services, some in Caldwell and a few at the main campus in Nampa. That is where we will be spending our Sunday mornings while the building in Middleton is being refurbished. It will hopefully be completed late summer or early fall.
Last Sunday night, some of us gathered at Pastor Laura’s home. We shared our experiences. I shared a bit of my excitement about seeing so many young people that were so happy to be in the house of the LORD that morning at the CFC Caldwell campus.
I could not share all my excitement, because I could not yet put it into words. I have for so many years wanted to see our church in Middleton packed with young people praising God. I guess I just never knew how to accomplish that … or perhaps it just wasn’t God’s timing (or my mission to fulfill?).
But now, with just a taste of what it might be like, I can hardly wait for the property renewal to be done. I want to be on the CFC Middleton campus and watch what God is going to do. I want to see that building full of people, young and old, this generation and the next, praising and serving God.
I want to see the dream fulfilled. I want to see what I have hoped for and desired for at that Middleton campus come to life. I guess I will need some patience while they work on the property … but oh, I sure hope they work fast!
Proverbs 13:12: “Delayed hope makes the heart sick, but fulfilled desire is a tree of life.” [HCSB]
