God has been so good to us everyday all the time, but the last 21 days have been special in the life of those at 1027church. it has been so encouraging to hear stories about God at work in the lives of those at 1027church and those we are doing life with in atlanta. i’m also excited about those who are inviting and investing in people in their circles of life.
Today at 1027church was another special time because God was in the house and we joined him at work. here are some other things that happened.
1. Loving the music that jonathan rich, matt, and jeremy are putting to the psalms and I love hearing right before the word is preached.
2. Today singing psalm 3 was awesome. As well as the other amazing musical worship.
3. Big shout to those who come and pray before the service and even pray as we are un-packing the stuff from the trailer that we use for the worship service.
4. Thanks to those who greet and give a good cup of coffee from @1000hillsofcoffee.
5. BIG shout out to people like Ross Floyd who get the sound system and other stuff sounding so good.

this blog is not being written to show off but in hopes of helping people help people in haiti. personally this impacts my life because people matter to God and should matter to me where ever they live. secondly my room-mate in college was from haiti, and i have had the opportunity to see the amazing work God is doing through haitian churches in miami and new york.
one of my friends and fellow church planters in atlanta, his wife is from haiti and i believe they have family in haiti. so here are some links and information about ways you can help.

coffee sunday was another special time for 1027church to hear about the amazing story of 1000HillsCoffee and get a chance to partner beyond drinking a cup on sunday mornings. we are blessed to partner with land of thousand hills coffee. i pray God does conintue to watch over the whole world and not just my neighborhood.

okay, atlanta is not chicago, new york, or other cold city places. but it is snowing (don’t laugh so loud all you northern people) and people are flocking to my office starbucks for something good and warm. there is no room to sit down anywhere and people are not only standing in line for coffee but a place to park themselves in a chair.
so i was sitting at a table with three chairs. one for me, one for my computer sling pack, jacket, gloves and hat and one chair for the different people I meet with. so with it being packed you of course give up an empty chair, and you also move your stuff out of the empty ghost chair. but than you allow someone to sit at the same big table as you and work on their computer like you are working on your computer.
so what’s next do you talk to the person? do introduce yourself? do try to carry on a conversation? why do you even have to ask those questions, the answers are yes, yes, and yes. why because people matter to God! and they should matter to me. so i have a new friend on a snowy day @ starbucks.

okay it’s wednesday/january 6th about to eat a late dinner (not a good idea.) i’m six days into some needed change and more discipline in my life and I want to blog about some of the change and discipline for just the simple reason of being real. so one of the main changes that needs to take place in my life is that God wants me to be physically healthier in 2010.
i have been on a fitness yo-yo for the past several years. having had the priveledge to play sports growing up and in college which does not mean your fit, it was a vechicle that helped keep me disciplined physically. in the early years of my marriage and during grad school I worked in corporate america for about 10 years doing fitness classes and personal training in corporate wellness centers. so my job kept me disciplined.
but today wednesday/january 6th 2010 i weigh 275 lbs and the doctor says Tim Wolfe is over weight and I need to loose about 40 pounds maybe 50. in the midst of all this i have a bad genetic worn out right hip that should be replaced this year when the dr. says go!
so these real, akward volunerable blogs that i feel GOD has encouraged me to share, are all about GOD dealing with Tim Wolfe. so I am taking baby steps! i pray God can change me physically and help me get healtheir. i’ll be sharing more about the changes and steps and discipline that take place over the next few months.

2. Cliff Seal, Angela Floyd, Dionatai Tucker great job leading us in worship.
3. Thomas Busby was our preacher this morning, and did a very good job. Thanks Thomas!
4. Eat lunch with some 1027church people and we talked about some God stuff for 2010.
5. Eating some dinner with some people tonight from 1027church should be super.
6. Prayed for Blueprint church as they launched today in the Atl, God bless you Dhati and family, team!
Community groups start back up Sunday/January 10th. See you soon!

2 Corinthians 5:17 TNIV • “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
I have been following Jesus Christ since April 5, 1984. January 27, 2010 I will become another year older, as a matter of fact I will turn 46. In the past I think God has made some BIG changes in my life. And I think God is still changing me and I think God wants to see some more change “new is here!” I have made some new years resolutions in the past of hopes of seeing some change, some change I have kept for a while others things did not change or not last long at all. I have learned I do NOT have the power to make changes in my life or make the change last. I know by saying that some people would probably say that’s lazy or it sounds like you are making excuses.
Renewal is rooted in faith, not in resolutions! I cannot make a new me or a new u, but Christ can make you new and me new. (via @KayWarren1) from twitter.
I think Kay Warren is right and renewal is rooted in faith and the work of the Holy Spirit is the supernatural power that changes us through - DISCIPLINE. Not that our discipline changes anything but we have to become DISCIPLINED about the change. I have been praying for a while about some areas I think God wants to change in my life. And for me I feel like it has come down to just being obedient to God or not, so I’m going to jot some of this down in my blog for some accountability.
Really it’s between God and me, but I also believe some of these are things maybe I have tried to not to pay attention to in the past or have hoped to that they might go away. Maybe laying it all on the table would allow me to become completely obedient to the work of the Holy Spirit in my life in 2010.
So I will be blogging about some of the change that I’m praying for God to do in 2010 in my life, family and ministry, in the following weeks as well as other God stuff and life. And I have faith it will happen and the old things will leave the building!
God please do a NEW work in me!
discipleship, family, leadership, life
