Michael and Elizabeth Norwood are on the team at The Life Church of Memphis. They serve as youth pastors and assistants to Pastors John and Leslie Siebeling. The love to see people live the live that God designed for them to live.
Elizabeth has funny stories every week from being a middle school teacher. Some of the stories are seem a bit unbelievable, but they are indeed true. I’ve convinced her to do a weekly post on something crazy at school. Check out the first one coming soon!
I took this driving back home from downtown Memphis one Friday. Guess not everybody had access to a pickup truck or knows someone that does. Not to mention…Is this illegal?
ME BAKING A CAKE
This next picture involves me and freakin coconut milk. For Elizabeth’s birthday, I wanted to make her a birthday cake. Since she’s been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, she hasn’t had a cake for her birthday. It was fun, and I had two great assistants who gave me their guidance, Jacinda Adams and Kelly Kapowski.
Lots going on in Memphistown and around Life Church. We have a lot of big things coming up and I thought I’d give you a lil sneak peek at what our world is going to look like the next few weeks! I love busy seasons! They definitely come with challenges and loss of sleep, but they always stretch me and force me to increase my capacity to do more. Also, we don’t just jam-pack our schedule just to “keep busy”. Gotta make sure that thought doesn’t creep in. There’s some momentum gained when we put our hands to the plow and WORK! Our WORK is about reaching people, serving and loving them. I was thinking about Jesus in Matthew 9:36 -37.
He felt great pity for the crowds that came, because their problems were so greatand they didn’t know where to go for help. They were like sheep without a shepherd. He said to his disciples, “The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few.”
Could the reason the workers are so few be that maybe we get a little afraid of being busy? Just a lil too cautious about hard work? When I’m feeling tired and overwhelmed…I think about the people, with problems so great. Gotta keep going, gotta stay busy and keep reaching, cause people are counting on us.
This weekend!
