New Shoes

you know after you share something with someone or a group and you remember all the things that you intended to to say but never said? Yea....

I had one of those moments when I came home last night and remembered all the things I didn't end up sharing.

I can only hope and humbly pray that you were able to take something away from what was shared yesterday, something that not just stays at the time and place that you heard it, but something that will effect you for the rest of your life. Something that will push you to be that morning without clouds. It may be something completely different from what I was sharing, but whatever it is that God spoke to you with, take it to heart and apply it. Like I told you before I started speaking, I don't consider myself to be the most powerful of speakers, I don't know anything, I am nothing, I am only sharing the things the Lord has established in my heart, the things I didn't just prepare for that Tuesday for me to speak, but the things that I have been preparing with my life, the things I have found myself struggling with and the undeserved ways the Lord has helped me through them. I just posted the worship and teaching from this week, when you get a chance - listen to the worship and teaching back to back and remember the ways God spoke to you individually that night.

I just came home from a pretty exhaustive night at work - for some reason or the other the customers today decided to be more persistent and messy than usual, but oddly enough I'm not even close to tired; I just want to embrace this moment I have in the stillness of the night where it seems like I am the only one awake as the rest of the world goes to sleep.

Those things that we encountered on the new prayer wall yesterday were really heart shattering, Thank you to those of you who were brutally honest with yourselves and our community, it was not only encouraging, it was refreshing to see walls being torn down with the concepts of pride and fear being crushed along with it. It was beautiful to see people embracing their brokenness and their need for a Saviour. I'll type it up tonight and send it to those of you who have asked me for it. You can rest assured I will be spending ample time tonight committing those things to the Lord.

You guys have been such a strong encouragement to me as I proceed with the things that I do, and I sincerely thank you for that, please continue to commit me to the Lord wholeheartedly in prayer, because I don't know anything, I need all the help,wisdom, and understanding I can get as I continue to humbly lead and do whatever I can to move the mountains that will always attempt to get in our way.

No turning back

Let's get into those new shoes.....together

It's about time

goodnight
