We had a great worship time this morning and I'm looking forward to another great time tonight. I love Sunday. I have ever since I was little. I love the church! I love the family-ness about it. Growing up as a preacher's kid, the church was always my second home. God's family is universal. I love that! Our church is cutting edge in a totally indescribable way. People often ask me to describe my church, and I'm always tongue-tied. We are a church that was once the very heartbeat of its 1950's suburban culture. Way back when, it was the "moral center" of the community. But times have changed. The community around our church is a melting pot of race, culture, and class. No longer considered anything close to suburban, we are inner city. We are seeker-driven, in that the core of our church is seeking Christ, longing to know Him and only Him in every aspect of the life He has given us. (And I see that I have failed miserably, in reading back over this, in truly describing what our church is really like. Oh well!) I have found, however, that when we are truly seeking Christ and His will for our lives, we have to be willing to look in every nook and cranny for His direction. If you are hungry, God will feed you, no matter what the atmosphere and no matter what the table looks like--if you are really hungry. I don't know about you, but these days I am starving. My world has been shaken up with something totally unexpected--a trust issue. A company/product that I have worked with and trusted for many years has become untrustworthy. What do you do? I have hit my knees and cried out for forgiveness for putting too much trust in man and not nearly enough trust in my Lord--the only One who has never, ever let me down. And everywhere I turn, I see His direction--even in this, what I consider a calamity, thing that's going on right now. He is re-directing me, ever more focusing my steps in a walk toward Him. Romans 8:28--tried and true--trustworthy. |
