We had a tree fall into our yard two weeks ago.
This tree had become our "thorn in our side" so to speak.
It was big- it almost hit our house. We need to get rid of it.
The tree that fell into our yard was not on our property.
It became a frustrating experience - trying to be patient, but trying to figure out how to get this thing out of our yard.
This situation caused us to be in some pretty responsive communication back and forth with someone in our neighborhood that was helping us figure out a plan.
What we thought we were dealing with was a tree in our yard.
And God spoke pretty loud and clearly to me this past weekend that "It's not about the tree" That was what God had used to orchestrate his plan.
Not only was the tree an avenue to bring people into our lives that share our faith, but it was also the spark that lit the fire for the need for prayer of protection over the neighborhood and the need to bring the community together...to position us all for the next chapter. I have felt for some time that God was calling me at some point to bring the neighborhood together.
Knowing that there were believers, followers of Christ in our community, our subdivision, I felt the need to bring us all together and make an impact in our community.
Link arms, build our "Wall of Jerusalem" and protect our wall.
While building the wall of Jerusalem, if a neighbor was in need of help, they dropped what they were doing and rushed in to help. That is what I believe God wants for the Highlands of Brentwood. And it had to start with a tree falling on our yard. Without the tree, I wouldn't feel the urgency to act to bring everyone together. And so "It's not about the tree" Praise God |
