Fifth "G" - Go

I have been REALLY busy so I missed a week posting. Going to get out easy this week too. This is in reply to Pastor Rob's recent post where 17 people came to Christ this past weekend. Check this out:

Awesome! That rocks! The Spirit is moving on SCC and people are growing in Him. I was on my way to work today,listening to 91.9 and they were talking about a video and how awesome it is. They said that if you watch this and you are not moved "your wood is wet". I went to the website, did more searching and found out more about it. Scroll down to see it, there is about 8 seconds of silence before it starts. This Rocks

I was definitely moved. The pastor spoke for 6 minutes about God. I want to start every day realizing, rejoicing, and resting in the truths in this message. Rather fitting too, the site is called Ephesians 4:14 "...Then we shall be no longer infants, tossed back and forth by the waves..." Makes me want to get up an "Go"!

Fourth "G" - Grow

Today is our 9th anniversary! I love my wife more and more each day. Talk about growing. Love is awesome! God is Love! I Love growing with and through God. In fact God has grown me more in the past 2-3 years than ever before in my life. This past week's message hit a note with me about loving my brothers and sisters in Christ. It is hard enough to ask for forgiveness from God but even harder to humble your self and ask for forgiveness from a brother or sister. Well needless to say it was placed on my heart to seek out a particular brother, swallow my pride, and ask for forgiveness. Of course the person was unaware of my issues with them, and they were actually quite surprised. I hope that they knew how sincere I was in asking for and explaining my thoughts that were wrong to feel towards them. I am now ready for communion with the Lord tonight @ Southbrook knowing that I have learned how to be humble in a particular area. Feels good to let go of hurt, I am prayerfully hopeful that I can continue to release, let go, and learn more and more as I grow in Christ. Have a great week.

Third "G" - Gather

I have been so busy with work and family that I have been slack in posting this week. I am sorry and will try to get back into a normal pattern of posting soon. (whatever "normal" means) I once heard a pastor say that things there really is no such thing as normal or "after I finish this life is going to slow down". Doesn't happen. He did say that it will slow down eventually, like when you die. I believe that it is going to slow down a lot then. After that it all depends on what God has planned for us in His Kingdom. That is my goal now too, seek His Kingdom. Geoffrey spoke Wednesday about simplifying and checking everything we do asking, is this action leading me to seek His Kingdom. Sounds like a good question to ask yourself constantly.

Great service this past weekend about the third "G" - Gather. I do not have my notes with me so here is a link to the message: http://www.southbrookchurch.com/ Look at the lower right for the mp3 and podcast versions.

Have a good one!
