Well I am grateful to be here with everyone.

I believe it's going to be an incredible day that God is going to speak to us all.

As he said, we are down in Houston, it's been incredible.

God's done some incredible things, obviously getting

Pastor Leland as our worship pastor,

but he's really brought some incredible people around.

I just can't say enough. Thank you to everyone here

from Gateway Church because for sending us out into that area. Really the thing that

we hear constantly from people that is it's been an answer to prayer.

So we're just so grateful to be here but I'm also excited to be back in my home, away from home,

coming back to Dallas and I'm grateful even though we are in

Houston we still watch my pastor every single weekend I will say we gather

around the TV as a family and the candle life service was incredible

but it's a little bit awkward standing in your living room with a candle by yourself

passing it around to your kids but we got the hang of it by the end of it, but we're

excited to be here. And especially because it's the last weekend of the year. But it's also

the last weekend of the decade. And I began to think, and I'm sure

if you sat down and reflect on the past 10 years, 10 years ago I was single, no kids

in working in sales.

Ten years later, I'm married, four kids,

and that happened really fast.

And now starting your church.
