We had our first worship gathering at my house tonight and it went with flying colors. I felt like time stopped and we got to worship in a completely different way from the norm and talk about it after. Then, I still had time to play wii over at my friends house. Wow! God is good.
Amy had a great message today in church this morning. She talked about how God get's down on our level and holds our cheeks with his hands so we aren't distracted from what he is saying. It's interesting. I've been praying for motivation, this past week, and when she started her sermon about how God just wants us to listen and do what is called for us, everything falls into place. If you don't, he'll get down on our level and say it again. I felt like that happened to me me today. It was like a oh wow I get it kind of moment. It was the initiating action, as Don Miller would say. I love his books. Now, our of that, I have motivation. The Lord works in wonderful and loving ways. When it hit me, my eye's filled with tears.
I got to talk to some of the youth tonight after our gathering. One of the girls was telling me she's really not into all this "church stuff". I told her that I was like that growing up. I went to church but I really didn't believe. I told her I didn't go to church while I was in college. Then I explained to her my story about how Christ came into my life and how you have to ask and genuinely mean it. She looked at me and wasn't really sure what to say. I told her to start coming to youth group. It's a good time. Then the conversation shifted. It was really cool how I got to share that with her. Since I've given my life to Jesus, I've been a bit weary about sharing my faith and I hadn't really been praying about it but God showed me tonight that it's ok and you can have confidence about it. He knows everything on your heart. He has me on awe almost every day.
Romance me Lord,
help others find you.
Use me Lord,
I will always love you.
Happy Valentine's day!
