Pleased

I have been reflecting upon the gathering this past Sunday (4/5) and the overwhelming sense of gratitude that I have for the positive hearts of the people that were present for our first meeting addressing the issues / opportunities that are before us. As I listened to the questions that people asked, the requests for information, and the suggestions made, there was a sense of great openness. Not openness necessarily to a particular idea or solution but an openness to the dialogue and wrestling that will take place in the coming months. It didn't feel to me as if people had come to the meeting with their minds made up and their heels dug in (for or against).
It seems like we are off to a great start and I'm just excited to see what God will continue to do in the midst of this process of listening!
