Well, this was my first real sunday off. What I mean by that is that I did not lead singing or preach somewhere. I can not honestly remember the last time that happened. I started my day by getting up at 9am. Please understand I have eithre left my house or at the church by 8:30, to sleep in on a sunday was a real treat. I went to see brother don this morning. He was great- Pray, pass, pause, pray, and perceived. Don hit me between the eyes with this one. I can be very selfish person. Don reminded me how I think of things with his example of buying a door at Home Depot. He had to wait for 90 minutes, I said it right 90 minutes for a specialist to get the door down for don to purchase. I did go to bible class, I wanted to skip it just to see how it felt. I went and it was an endurance. I like more interactive classes than someone lecturing in the same tone. Anyway, Don's lesson straighten me out on this one as well. I went tonight to a smaller church to just check out sunday night church. Three songs and the rest of the time was sermon time about the plan of salvation. It was a good reminder to me when he asked the question who are you studying the bible with lately. I want to encourage all to be involved in a study with someone. It keeps you healthy in your relationship with God. He put us here to share the story. Embry Hill reminded me of that tonight. I also got a chance to drop by and help with tech issues with a mission team to African. The movie was "Faith like potatoes". This movie based on a true story really hit home on my wonderful Sunday off Sunday. I don't know how you can get it but it inspire me to asked the question about my own faith. I know God has been very faithful to me. I need to be more faithful to him. The following I would like to express as I recommit my faith to him:
I have faith that God will:
Find me a place to live to bring him more glory
Find me a help me to continue working for the kingdom
Heal my family of issue and point more of them to him
Used me as a vessel to facilitate all that he wants to do with my work at GAC,East Cobb, and etc.
Bring me closer to friends I have not seen or contacted in a while.
Direct me to a doctoral study to fulfill a promise made earlier in my life.
Fill me with joy, and contentment as I do more for the kingdom
Make it more clear to me the objective of day camp and my role there.
Have a blessed week!

I am so glad you were able to sit back and really listen to the lessons God placed on you yesterday! I know it is so nice to be on the "receiving end"--to be fed, than to feel rushed and hurried making sure you are feeding the rest of the congregation. And I think Brother Don always does a great job hitting us between the eyes! What a great vessel for the Lord he is!!!
I will be praying for you and that your faith may grow more and more deeper each day. Love ya!
I'm so glad you're enjoying your time off. You give yourself so fully to the Lord. And having served with you, I know some of the frustrations you must continually face. I know that ministry work has it's share of troubles, but you handle them with grace. And as Terry Rush would say, you must be doing something right! :) No matter where you are or where you are serving, I know that God will use you for His glory. May God continue to bless you as you continue to bring Him glory, while you continue to draw closer to Him. Have a great week! Love ya!
