When we were at the pier yesterday, Hap said something really interesting. He said that 4 months ago he couldn't have even imagined this happening - this community, these friendships, this family. It's funny how things come together when the time is right huh? It's funny how at the point where we all probably needed each other the most, our paths crossed and we found the heart of a community.
I had the privilege of standing in the back yesterday as we poured out our hearts in worship, and I'll never forget that moment when it was silent and all you could hear was the ripple of the waves crashing up against the shore. I'll never forget that moment when I understood what it must of been like for the disciples to hear the words "Peace. Be Still" come out of Jesus's mouth as they were so concerned about their situation.
I'll never forget that moment I looked at each one of you and realized why it was I had to come home.
God works in mysterious ways, and in the most mysterious of ways he has brought us all together for a purpose. Let's do whatever it takes to find that purpose. Let us be patient, Let us be humble, Let us keep striving to where we need to be.
I am sorry, I am sorry, for failing constantly
I am fighting, I am trying, I am dying to be freed
Lord I love you, Lord I know that you're the only one for me
yet I struggle, Yet I fail to grasp the road you've paved for me
Help me hold on, Help me stand firm in the promise of your word
Help me realize that in all things you are working for my good
Lord I know it, Lord you've proved it, search my heart, do not delay
To show your kindness, To show your mercy to your servant on this day
Thank you for Love, Thank you for your heart to deal with me
I am willing to keep striving to where I need to be...
Thank you for helping me find a title to this song today
- Ben Thomas
