In 120 Characters or Less!

The Patio at Horizons is coming along so quickly, and I can hardly believe my eyes how it continues to grow as passions grow along with it--it's bigger, more functional, and has more extras being added daily!  I'm also blown away by how this project has stirred Horizons' hearts in other ways as well!  Eagle Scout Calvin Taylor built a similar patio area leading out of the atrium, and two other men are leading a team that collectively has a vision for a mission community garden currently in construction, just to name a few examples!

Horizons will not look the same in drastic way as it did even 2 months ago!  All of these outward signs are what we see of God's inward work.  People are coming alive, fulfilling their calls, moving in the world to make hopes reality.  It's beautiful!

But today I'm finding a particular challenge.  Sarah and I received the letter that many from Horizons did asking us to fill out, in 60 or 120 characters, what we want our brick, being included in the Patio construction, to say.

What does one say in 120 characters?  We want it to be meaningful, not self-honoring, scriptural, future-focused, visionary but not vague, and inspirational yet humble.

We're almost tempted not to say anything at all.  But a blank brick may be just as fruitless.

And so the question remains:  when God gives you only 120 words--including spaces--to share something that leads others to Him while explaining your own heart, what does one say?  We'll see...

More to come!
