· Worship was awesome this Sunday, the band sounded great. I can’t relax and worship God when they don’t sound great. Audre did a great job leading, she was created to be on stage, and I’m so glad that we have had a role in helping here find here gifts.
Andre was behind the drums but I hear a new drummer might be coming on the team. Everything is working out according Romans 8:28.
I was not too satisfied with my preaching this Sunday, all though response was big, people said that they really liked it. I was trying to get people offended in the beginning of my sermon, since it seems like I do it anyway, I guess I was just trying to get it out of the way.
Its not that I didn’t take the time to prepare my massage, I was just tired of the process. Saturday is for relaxing, and most people are having fun, I was like “Screw it” God tomorrow I will totally trust in you.(That only works sometimes) Usually it takes me about 10 – 15 hours of study just to write one sermon and I didn’t want to be in the office so long on Saturday.
I want to preach this massage again. Because there is just so much about PEOPLE PLEASING that I didn’t say.
We went out to Jonny Carrino’s after church and had a lot of fun. I told the one Joke I know. It got sum response. And then everybody else started……..
Andre and Yana are engaged and are going though pre marital counseling. So we have spent 2.5 hours with them this Sunday, I think they were surprised to find out so much more about each other. It’s hard to do premarital counseling with your friends. But sum day they will be doing this with other young couples. I wish Tanya and I had someone telling us what marriage is going to be like.
I feel like God is personally teaching me, and it’s not fun right now. While preaching my massage this Sunday, God reveled some of my motives that I have never seen before. I had to do some repenting.
I feel like imprisoned John the Baptist who almost got offended at Jesus and Jesus said “Blessed is he who will not get offended because of Me” John was probably thinking “Jesus why don’t you come and rescue me, I can be of some use to you” or like disciples who cried out “Cant you see -we are drowning?” Jesus answered and said “O you of little faith, why have you doubted?” That’s kind of my prayer “Jesus I’m downing, little help would be nice” There is just so much of my self.
Sometimes I feel like “will God ever perfect me in my lifetime?”
It’s like there is always something new that He shows you about you. And it’s never finished.
But in the words of Job “Though He slays me, yet I will trust Him”
Its getting late, see you.
