Well today is Monday, and I'm totally optimistic! I went to church for the first time in literally WEEKS and it was awesome! I love being in the presence of God! It was an amazing service, even though nothing fantastic happened, it was just a time of awesome worship.... something I havent done in awhile. :D Its just an awesome feeling to feel the fire inside of you burn stronger and stronger. Its an amazing feeling and I would give the world for it! Praise & Worship is one of my "Loves" in the church. Its probably my favorite part. Its a time where you get to worship God however you want, and you can bare your soul and just offer everything to Him! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday of this week is a revival with Kirk & Janelle Wade, she's an awesome woman of God and I can't wait for her to pour into us what God has given her to speak. This weekend was a bit rough, didnt have/make time to read my Bible, but this week I'm more hopeful, trying to die to myself daily is gonna kill me, which is the effect we're going for anway, but still, its painful! Well I thought I'd drop a few lines today so I don't miss too much. I'll let you know how tonight goes!
"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." John 4:23-24 (NIV)
Still trying....
Day Two...
So I'm really excited that even though I was exhausted last night I still stayed up long enough to read Philippians chapter 2 which explains how we are to imitate Christ's humility. And then I got to verse 14 which says to do all things without complaining or arguing. We are to SHINE LIKE STARS for God, a light in a dark world. I just feel like its time to shine... not for me, but to make Him famous! I know how to make the dead feeling inside of me alive again... RELATIONSHIP. Its so simple. Yet I make it so complicated. How do you get a relationship with God. TIME. How do you make time? PRIORITY. Easy when I type it out, make a relationship with God one of my top priorities and I can change my whole outlook on life. Here we go.... I'm finally ready.
"Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I'll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns. You'll be living proof that I didn't go to all this work for nothing." Philippians 2:14-16
