• Today was why I LOVE pastoring this church – Awesome Worship, Risky Topic, God Rocked our worlds!!
• Today lives were changed – THAT never gets old.
• Today the 706 Student Band led worship at the AC – Sammy, Micah, Evan, D’evan, Andrew, & Matt –
  • it was AMAZING!!
  • it was Generational Influence!!
  • it was worship – real, authentic, powerful, made God smile!!
  • Thank you 706 Band for taking us where we needed to be this morning – straight to the heart of Jesus!!
• Hearing Marcus & Felicity sing at the OC “How Deep, How Wide, How GREAT is YOUR LOVE for me” was a highlight of the day!!
• Today would NEVER have happened without our VOLUNTEERS who adapted and stepped it up big time as 100+ more people showed up than our October average  - THANK YOU!!
• Thank You to ALL of those who made TODAY happen, invited, and brought someone with you to church – it was worth it!!
• Today a mom introduced me to her son she has been praying for 2 years for him to come with her – made my day!!
• Today we launched the most anticipated series of the year – CAPTIVATING – Compass’ first ever WOMAN SERIES!!!!!
• I received in an email from one of our ladies on how God spoke to her – “You were captivating before you received your body; before you received your soul; before you received your mission.  You are the beauty bearer of my image.  You have my DNA.  I want, NO, I am determined to call forth your essence and show you who you are!” – WOW!!!!!
• Women have a hard time hearing “You are Something.”
• Today we talked about asking WHO and WHAT do you allow to define you? I pray many women we’re set free.
• The reason women struggle with feeling captivating is they allow themselves to be defined through they eyes of culture instead of the eyes of Scripture.
• Jesus says “LISTEN TO ME, O ROYAL DAUGHTER.”
• “THE KING IS WILD ABOUT YOU…HE DELIGHTS IN YOUR BEAUTY.” (Psalm 45:11)
• My biggest prayer for ALL the Ladies at Compass is that you will ask Jesus to “Let Me See Me As You See Me.”
• I really wanted to encourage both married and single women today. Singles especially – if you are dating or living with a ‘Crumb’…you now know what to do.
• A PRINCESS is worthy of a PRINCE – don’t leave the castle!!
• Next week we will be dealing with the question, “What are the characteristics of a godly women?” I promise there will be some TENSION in the room (which usually means God’s at work in a big way!!) I Can’t Wait.
• COMPASS PARTNERSHIP CLASS – Next Sunday Night, November 15. Your next step to getting connected with all God is doing at Compass. SIGN UP HERE.

• We saw four people accept Christ today – worth it all!!
• My new favorite worship song is “Revelation Song” – POWERFUL!!
• Volunteers – you AMAZE me! Thank you for doing what you do so people can meet Jesus!!
• Because of you 27 people’s lives have been changed for eternity and 100s who find themselves in a dip have been ministered to the past 3 weeks.
• I’m going to miss our Habakkuk series – I knew it was going to be good, just not this good.
• As I said today, when you find yourself in a Dip, STOP DIGGING!!
• Do the “Habakkuk” – REMEMBER the good stuff, ACCEPT the tough stuff, and TRUST the God stuff!
• Many of us set up our permanent mailing address in our Dip when God just intends for us to stay overnight!!
• You cannot have a Habbakuk 3 FAITH until you’ve been through a Habakkuk 1 QUESTION and a Habbkkuk 2 WAIT!!
• There will be entire chapters in your life you would never have written – that’s how you know it’s His Story not yours.
• My prayer is that you, too, after walking with Jesus THROUGH enough yesterdays, will come to a place where you can trust Him with all of your tomorrows!!
• It was SO awesome to share about our 2009 Christmas Gift Offering today – I’m BLOWN away by all God is doing in our church – even in a recession!
  
• What rocks – there’s MORE to come – get your ready shoes on!!
• Can’t Wait to start CAPTIVATING this coming Sunday – who are you bringing with you?
• Lis and I celebrated a close friend’s 36th birthday at the Cheesecake Factory this afternoon – cocunut cream cheesecake with a side of hot fudge – Boo Yah!!
• Prayer for our staff – intensely Wrestling with and Embracing ALL that God is asking us to do as we end 2009 and plan ahead for 2010 – I’m in AWE!!
